Loading Paper
This chapter describes how to load paper, envelopes, thick paper, and transparencies in the printer. To ensure the best performance of your printer, you want to select the best paper and load it correctly.
You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you can manually feed one sheet at a time. The path that the paper travels through the printer is the same for automatic and manual feeding.
