§If you are using Windows, you must select Manual Feed using the BJ-200ex printer driver for the printer to accept manually fed paper.
§After printing on thick paper or envelopes, set the paper thickness lever (inside the printer) to the left before printing on normal paper.
§After manually feeding a sheet of paper or an envelope, set the paper selection lever to the back position.
Printing on Transparencies
You can stack approximately 40 transparencies in the sheet feeder. However, this special medium may not advance correctly under unusual environmental conditions (such as extreme temperatures and humidity). If you have trouble with transparencies becoming skewed or feeding multiple sheets, do not stack them in the sheet feeder. Load them manually as described earlier in the chapter.
Place at least one sheet of plain paper in back of a stack of transparencies.
