Handling Paper

Feeding Paper Manually

The multi-function of this printer has a slot that allows you to feed sheets manually one by one. Use the manual feed slot to print a document on a different type of paper without unloading your regular paper from the paper tray. You also use manual feed for printing envelopes, overhead transparencies, and labels.

You can also use the manual feed slot built in the printer. The procedure is the same. In this case, remove the multi-function feeder from the printer as shown in the preceding page.

To use the manual feed slot, first select MANUALFEED ON using the tray select mode of the control panel. Next, start your software program to print a file. Then follow these steps:

1. Adjust the paper guides. Position the left and right upper guides to the width of the sheet. (Lower two guides are for paper stack.)

2. Place the sheet with print side face up. When the printer is ready to print, it displays the message Insert size to prompt you to prepare a sheet of paper. Insert the sheet until it is stopped by the feed rollers. Insufficient insertion prevents paper from being fed or causes skewed feeding.

Release the paper once it begins to feed automatically. If your file has additional pages, the printer prompts you for another sheet.
