Printing from Your PC

Multi-purpose Sheet Feeder

The MFC’s multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, envelopes, and organizer paper. When the MFC receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.

■Select the print command from your PC.

Your PC sends a print command and data to the MFC. If there are more pages, the MFC begins to print the next page automatically.

You may select the paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software.

If your application software does not support your custom paper size, select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the left and right margins in your application software. (See Acceptable Paper, page 2-7)

Use the Manual Feed Slot for labels or transpariencies for overhead projecters.

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplex)

The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 3.1x, 95/98/98SE, Windows NT® Workstation Version 4.0 support manual duplex printing. (For more information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)

Please select LPT1 port in the printer driver. The MFC prints all the even-numbered pages on one side of the paper first. Then, the Windows® driver instructs you (with a pop-up message) to reinsert the paper. Before reinserting the paper, straighten it well or you may get a paper jam. Very thin or very thick paper is not recommended. If the paper “double-feeds” (sends two sheets at once), hold the stack of paper except for the front sheet while the paper is feeding.

When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the printer quality might not be satisfactory.
