Printing on thicker paper and card stock

When the back output tray is pulled down, the MFC has a straight paper path from the manual feed tray or the MP tray through to the back of the MFC. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thicker paper or card stock.

The manual feed tray (For MFC-8420)

1 Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other settings in the printer driver.

Media Type: Thick paper or Thicker paper

Paper Source: Manual

2 Open the back output tray.

3 Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to fit the paper size.

4 Using both hands put the paper in the manual feed tray until the front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller and the MFC grips the paper.

Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper position in the manual feed tray. If it is not, the paper may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.

Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.

5 Send the print data to the MFC.
