Manually Feeding Pages

Occasionally (such as when printing transparencies), you may want the printer to pause between printing each page. The Manual Feed feature allows you to feed paper into the printer by hand rather than automatically being fed from one of the trays.

Manual Feed should normally be set through a software application. If your software does not have this option, set Manual Feed through the printer control panel.

To turn on MANUAL FEED in your software application

1In your software application select Print or Print Setup.

2In the Source option select Manual Feed.

3Print the document.

To turn on MANUAL FEED in the printer control panel

2Press [Item] until MANUAL FEED=setting is displayed.

3Press [- Value +] until MANUAL FEED=ON is displayed.

When the Manual Feed option is turned ON the printer will respond in the following ways when a job is received:

•When Tray 1 is configured as the primary tray (TRAY1=FIRST):

•The printer will automatically print on media that is loaded into Tray 1. The printer will not pause between pages.

•If Tray 1 is empty the printer will display the message MANUALLY FEED [media size]. Once the media is loaded the printer will automatically print the sheet. The printer will then pause, waiting for additional pages to be loaded.

•When Tray 1 is not configured as the primary tray in the printing order (TRAY1=CASSETTE):

•The printer will display the message, MANUALLY FEED [media size]. Load the desired media. The printer will start printing. If the desired media is already in Tray 1 press Go . The printer will continue to print from Tray 1 until the end of the print job or until Tray 1 becomes empty.
