Chapter 4: The Front Feeder

Use the Front Feeder to print on special media without having to change the paper you have loaded in the tray(s). You can print up to 100 pieces of media or you can use the Front Feeder as a manual feed unit to print individual pieces of media “on-the-fly.”

For media other than standard paper, you

must use the rear paper exit. This eliminates curling, and for labels, it eliminates peeling.

You can use the Front Feeder to print on the following media:

•Standard weight paper that is different from the paper loaded in the paper tray: e.g., letterhead, different size

–Up to 100 sheets

–16 to 28-lb.

–Letter, 13" & 14" Legal, Executive, A4, A5, B5, C5

(minimum 3.4" x 2.8"; maximum 8.5" x 14")

–Use either top or rear paper exit path

•Envelopes

–Up to 10 envelopes
