Manual Feed Slot

The machine has a manual feed slot above the paper tray. You can load envelopes and special print media one at a time into this slot. You do not have to remove paper from the paper tray. (See Acceptable Paper, page 92.)

Use the manual feed slot to copy on labels, envelopes, organizer paper, card stock or thicker paper. (See Copying onto Thicker Paper and Card Stock, page 59.)

If you use transparencies, labels and envelopes, they must be of a type suitable for use with a laser printer. If you use incorrect types it is possible to damage or contaminate the drum surface and cause problems.
