Paper handling

In addition to a standard up-to-250 sheet paper tray, two additional trays* can be used: A built-in multipurpose up-to 50 sheet tray for letterhead and envelopes and an optional tray can be added to hold up to 500 sheets. This results in an impressive maximum paper capacity of up-to 800 sheets. Note that this optional tray cannot be added onto HL-4040CN.
