Line up the cut-out slot with the left hand sides plastic tab and gently push it into the gap left by the removed paper tray. Make sure you push the tray all the way into the slots to install it.
The tray works exactly the same as a native tray, by using gravity to help slide components down towards the rollers which pull them into the printing mechanism. Being longer than standard A4 media take care not to overload it, alternately put something under to support it.

Now the feeder tray is installed, you’re ready to load plate components onto it. To use, simply place your sheets onto the tray and butt them right up to the printer. But ensure you place it with the side you wish to print on facing upwards. If you have badged media, orientate it with the flags situated furthest away from the printer. And use the sliding guides on the top tray to help secure your media into place.
