Loading Paper Manually

If you want to print labels, envelopes, transparencies, heavy paper (over 90g/m2 or 24 lb), or other special papers, you can load the paper one sheet at a time through the manual feed slot. Also, you can manually feed paper when you want to print a small job on different paper from the type loaded in the cassette.

You can manually feed paper ranging in size from 86 X 140 mm (3.4 X 5.5 inches) to 216 X 356 mm (8.5 X 14 inches).

Note: You can also insert several envelopes in the manual-feed slot. Because thickness and surface characteristics are especially important for envelopes, test a sample for print quality and proper feeding before you buy a large number of envelopes.

To use manual feed, follow these steps:

1.If necessary, use SelecType to choose the new paper size as described in Chapter 3.

2.Open the front cover.
