HP Pro B8300 Printing with the front or rear manual feed slot, Changing the software settings

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.

Printing from the manual feed slots is performed in two stages: 1) changing the software settings, and 2) loading the media. The following sections contain procedures for performing each stage.

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