Using the manual tray

The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print media, such as transparency, postcard, note card, and envelope. It is useful for single page printing on special print media.

To load paper in the manual tray:

1 Load one sheet of paper with the side to be printed on facing up.

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

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

Transparencies: Print side up and the top with the adhesive strip entering the printer first.

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

Preprinted paper: Design side up and the top edge entering the printer first.

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

Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down and an uncurled edge entering the printer first.

Note

• For transparency, hold it by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your fingers can cause print quality problems.

2Adjust the manual tray paper width guides to the width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will bend, which could result in a paper jam or skew.

3When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the software application. See the Software Section.

Tips on using the manual tray

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

To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in the manual tray. This also applies to the standard tray.

Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.

Always load only the print media specified in page 5.2 to avoid paper jams and print quality problems.

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print media in the manual tray if you select Manual Feeder in the Source option from the Paper tab when you change print settings to print a document. See the Software Section. Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print quality after each page is printed.

Load paper sheet-by-sheet in the manual tray, send print data to print the first page, and press the Cancel button on the control panel to print each following page.
