PRINTING ON SPECIAL PRINT MATERIALS

The machine can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards, note cards, and envelopes. Especially, it is useful for single page printing on letterhead or colored paper.

Feeding the print material manually

Load only one size of print media at a time in the tray.

To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the tray. This also applies to other types of print media.

Print media should be loaded face up with the side you want to print, and the top edge going into the tray first. Place print materials in the center of the tray.

Always load only the specified print media to avoid paper jams and print quality problems. (See "Selecting print media" on page 31.)

Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the tray.

1.Load the paper. (See "Changing the size of the paper in the paper tray" on page 34.)

Depending on the media type you are using, keep the following loading guidelines:

Envelopes: Flap side down and with the stamp area on the top left side.

Labels: Print side up and top short edge entering the machine first.

Preprinted paper: Design side up with the top edge toward the machine.

Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the machine first.

Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an uncurled edge toward the machine.

2.When you print in application, start the print menu.

3.Before you print, open printer properties.

4.Press the Paper tab in printer properties, and select an appropriate paper type.

If you want to use an label, set the paper type to Label.

5.Select Manual Feeder in paper source then, press OK.

6.Start printing in application.

7.Press the Stop button on the machine to start feeding then the machine starts printing.

• If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet after first

page prints out, and press the Stop button. Repeat this step for every page to be printed.

The settings you change remain in effect only while you are using the current application.

ADJUSTING THE OUTPUT SUPPORT

The printed pages stack on the output tray, and the output support will help the printed pages align. To let the output support correctly align the pages you need to pull it out appropriately depending on the paper size.

• If the output support is incorrectly adjusted, printed pages may be mis-aligned or fall.

If you continuously print many pages, the surface of the output tray may become hot. Be careful not to touch the surface, and especially keep children away from the surface.

After loading paper in the paper tray, you need to set the paper size and type using the printer driver. Follow these steps to make your changes permanent.
