Printing on Thicker Paper and Card Stock

When the rear cover is lifted up, the machine has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot to the rear of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on envelopes, thicker paper or card stock.

2Send the print data as usual.

3Lift up the rear cover at the rear of the machine.

4Adjust the manual feed paper guides to the width of the paper you’re using.

5Insert a single sheet of paper into the manual feed slot until the front edge touches the paper feed rollers. Let go of the paper as the machine pulls it into position.

6After the machine ejects the printed page, return to Step 5 to insert the next sheet of paper. The machine will wait until you insert the next sheet of paper. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for each page to be printed.

7When you have finished printing, close the rear cover of the machine.

To prevent the possibility of transparencies smudging as they stack in the output bin, remove each transparency after it exits.
