Canon BJ-200ex manual

§The front position is for automatic loading of envelopes and for manually feeding any type of print media.

§Do not move the paper selection lever after loading paper in the sheet feeder.

§This lever is different from the lever on a typewriter or dot matrix printer. You need not pull it forward to load paper. You set the paper selection lever to the front position only when loading envelopes or when manually feeding paper. If it is set to the front position when you are automatically feeding stacks of normal paper, the printer may feed multiple sheets or jam.

§Be sure to remove any paper from the sheet feeder before setting the paper selection lever.

When the paper selection lever is in the back position, a lever inside the printer prevents the paper from advancing into the printer. When you move the paper selection lever
