Loading Paper Manually

If you want to print on paper other than letter-size, or special paper or other media such as labels, envelopes, transparencies, or heavy paper (over 24 lb, or 90 g/m2), you can load the paper one sheet at a time through the manual feed slot. Hand-feeding is convenient when you want to print a small job on paper different from the type already loaded in the cassette.

Note: You can also use the manual feed method when the multi- media feeder is installed.

The printer accommodates hand-fed paper ranging in size from 98 x 148 mm (3.86 x 5.83 inches) to 216 x 356 mm (8.5 x 14 inches).

3.If the printer is off line, press ON LINE to set the printer on line.
