3.1.1 Using the manual input tray

You can print not only on plain paper but also on special
media (transparencies / labels / envelopes).
The manual input tray is used only for printing with the
computer and can hold one page at a time. When
printing multiple pages, add a next page after the first
page has been fed into the unit.
LPlease refer to page 89 for information on recording
paper.
1Pull open the manual input tray (1), and then raise
the extender (2) gently until it clicks into place.
2Insert the paper, print-side down (1) until the unit
grasps the paper and a single beep is heard.
LAdjust the width of the guides (2) to the size of
the recording paper.
Note:
LIf the paper is not inserted correctly, re-adjust the
paper, or the paper may jam.
LMake sure the unit grasps the recording paper as
specified in step 2. The display shows the following.
PAPER IN TRAY #2
FOR PC PRINTING
LTo use the manual input tray, you must change the
paper source in the [Basic] tab when setting the
printer properties (page 25). You can also select the
desired media type.
To print on transparencies
Use transparencies designed for laser printing.
We recommend the following:
3M® CG3300/CG5000
LUse the manual input tray to print
transparencies.
LLoad transparency sheets one page at a time for
printing, print-side down.
LPrinted transparency will be stacked on the
upper output tray.
LRemove each transparency after printing and
place it on a flat surface to cool and to prevent it
from curling.
LDo not re-use transparencies that have already been
fed through the unit. This includes transparencies
that have been fed through and ejected without being
printed on.
LSome types of transparencies have instructions
recommending which side to print on. If the print
quality is poor, try printing on the other side of a new
transparency.
Load the recording paper after you have started
printing with the computer.
