Printing with the front or rear manual feed slot

If you are printing one or just a few photos, envelopes, or sheets of paper, you can use the front manual feed slot and leave your regular media in the input tray.

The rear manual feed slot uses a straight paper path and is designed for printing single sheets on thick paper (up to 280 g/m2) like cardstock and photo paper.

For information on media types and sizes supported by the manual feed slots, see “Understanding specifications for supported media”.

If the auto-duplex unit is installed and you want to print using the rear manual feed slot, replace the auto-duplex unit with the rear access panel.
