24 Paper Handling Chapter 2
Loading Paper Manually
The manual feed slot allows you to load paper manually, one sheet at a
time. You can load transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, or other
special paper. You can also load plain paper, which is useful when you
want to use paper that is a different size from the paper in the MP tray.
Before loading paper manually, always select the paper delivery first. For
transparencies, labels, envelopes, postcards, and other special paper,
face-up delivery must be used. Plain paper can use both the face-up and
face-down delivery methods. Face-down delivery is limited to plain paper
with weight between 64 and 105 g/m

. For details, see “Selecting Paper
Delivery” on page 14.
Align the sheet of paper so that the side to be printed on faces the front of
the printer and the top of the paper is inserted first. Slide the sheet of
paper into the manual feeding slot until it stops (see
➀ in the illustrations
below). Adjust the paper guides to the sheet of paper (see
➁ in the
illustrations below).
❏ The manual feed has priority over the MP tray.
❏ Often applications will let you change the feeding direction of
envelopes. Confirm the feeding direction of envelopes before printing.
❏ If a postcard is not fed smoothly into the printer, gently push the top of
the postcard downwards until the roller inside the printer takes the
card and feeds it into the printer.
