Using manual feed
Thick paper (max. 0.25 mm) must be fed manually for printing. Any type of
media can be fed manually for printing, so if you experience minor difficul-
ties like media sticking together in high humidity and misfeeding, you can
always use manual feeding.
1
Make sure the paper output receiver paper guide is set to the correct
mark for the size of the media you are going to feed manually.
2
If you are feeding a sheet larger than A4 or Letter size, extend the
paper output tray extension.
3
Start your software application.
4
Open the BJC-8500 printer driver.
5
Select the appropriate settings for Paper Size and Media Choice. For
Paper Source, you must select Manual Feed. For details refer to the
Windows Print Guide or the Macintosh Print Guide.
6
Click OK to close the printer driver and return to the Print dialog box.
7
Click the OK button to start the print job.
8
When you are prompted to insert the sheet, align the sheet with the left
edge of the manual feed slot and insert it into the printer until it stops.
Hold the sheet in place for about 2 or 3 seconds. Wait for the printer to
grab the sheet, then release it.
