rear

If the front or bottom paper slot is unavailable, you can also load ordinary continuous paper from the rear slot. Please note that loading paper from the rear slot results in a curved paper path, which may affect loading performance, so use the front or bottom slot whenever possible.

Caution:

Do not load continuous paper with labels in the rear slot. The labels may come off the backing sheets inside the printer and cause a paper jam.

Printing on single sheets

As shown below, you can load ordinary single sheets (not single-sheet multi-part forms) and envelopes one at a time from the top of the printer, using the paper guide that comes with the printer.

You can also load single-sheet paper using an optional cut-sheet feeder, front sheet guide, or front paper guide. For information on printing on single sheets, see Chapter 4. For information on options, see Appendix A.
