This extra paper tray was a cinch to install. Just set the printer on top of it into pre-set slots. The printer takes care of recognizing the unit. It adds capacity and flexibility. I use mine for either stationary or checks to be printed, while keeping the other tray for standard white paper. I use the printer wirelessly, and this paper tray has performed flawlessly. I'm very happy with it.

My last printer only had a single paper tray. I frequently had to manually insert legal sized paper into the multi purpose tray. What a nuisance! Now, when I want to print on legal, I just select "Legal" and out it comes. I love having this feature. Obviously, if you only print on one type of media, this option isn't for you. But if you like to use a different paper color etcetera, this is a real frustration saver. Also, this tray is able to handle a full ream of paper so I use this tray for my standard 8-1/2 x 11 paper and I use the original tray for special media. This saves me having to reload the paper tray so frequently. Did I mention that I love this addition?

This is a must have addition to your Brother MFC. For such little $ this is a great investment - and easy to set-up! The only issue is that the printer does not automatically know what size paper is in each tray - that has to be entered manually.

The Brother Optional Paper Tray is easy to set up and use.

The advantage to having the tray is the convenience of not having to load paper into the Multi Function Machine as frequently.

The only thing I don't like about the product is even though the Multi Function Machine recognizes the paper tray it does not provide an option to use the tray as the second choice after the MP tray.

It is a great product which allows you to have a second type of paper such as letter in this tray since it holds 500 sheets and the main tray can have legal paper in it which has 250 sheet capacity. This really broadens the printer capabilities. Amazon's delivery was fantastic. I have no problems with them at all and will feel safe using them in the future.

There's not much to say about a printer paper tray, beyond the utility of having a 500 sheet tray. The minimum weight paper I print with is 24lb, so the built-in tray for the Brother HL4070CDW tends to require filling more often that it would with cheaper, 20lb paper. The 500 sheet tray keeps a nice reservoir of 24lb, while the built-in tray can be dedicated to less frequently used 32lb stationary.

As a side note, installation is very easy. Basically, unpack, set the unpowered printer on top of it, and power the printer. No cabling or access panels to deal with.

Installation couldn't be easier, instructions very clear (1,2,3). I don't know how I lived without this ad on, I use multiple sized paper, legal and letter on a daily basis. This simple ad on tray is awesome!!! Now I just select the paper size and my printer knows which tray has the selected size. Let's not forget the massive paper capacity this thing gives you - Woohoooo

I wish you could set the printer up so that it would pull from this paper source first, then the one built into the
printer. I go through the printer paper first and get to look at "no paper" flashing the entire time it
is pulling from this paper source.

Otherwise, I love it!

It was a matter of setting the tray on the workspace and setting the printer on top of it, and making a couple of changes in the printer menu. I don't think I have had any product that was so easy to set up. I love it. It automatically switches to 11 or 14 inch paper. I think it is way overpriced for a "piece of plastic," but that's my personal opinion.

I bought this for my MFC-9840CDW printer. Simply unpack the tray, set the printer on top properly (align the guides) and both the printer and the driver recognize it at once. I changed the driver settings to make Tray 2 the default paper tray and never looked back. One neat feature is the driver has a pictorial view of the printer showing the active paper source i.e., Tray 2, Tray 1 or the Multi-Purpose (MP) tray. Works Great!
