Paper-feed Method

The printer feeds letter-size paper automatically from the standard paper cassette and most types of media from the manual feed slot.

A multi-media feeder and a legal-size paper cassette are available options. For information on the multi-media feeder, see Appendix A.

The following table lists recommended paper-feed methods for different print media. (If you want to try other methods, be sure to test-print a few sheets before beginning regular use.)

Note:

Paper feeding and print quality are usually best with regular paper.

Paper feeding is possible, although print quality cannot be guaranteed, with other types of media.

To print on letterhead paper, load the paper face down with the top of the paper entering the printer first.

To automatically load various types of media into the printer, use the optional multi-media feeder. See Appendix A.
