Loading Paper 25
Loading the Manual Feeder
The manual feeder is located at the front of your printer and can only feed one sheet of
print media at a time. You can use the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or
sizes that are not currently loaded in the paper tray.
To load the manual feeder:
1 Place a sheet of the selected print media, print side facing up, at the center of the
manual feeder, but only to the point where its leading edge can contact the paper
guides. Otherwise, the printer will engage the print media too soon and skew the print
job.
2 Adjust the paper guides to the print media’s width.
3 Hold both sides of the print media close to the manual feeder and push it into the
printer until it automatically engages.
There is a brief pause between the time the printer engages the print media and when
it feeds into the printer.
NOTICE: Do not force the print media into the feeder. Forcing the media causes jams.
• Insert envelopes with the flap side face down and with the stamp area on the top
right side.
• Hold transparencies by the edges and avoid touching the print side. Oils from your
fingers that are deposited on the transparency can affect print quality.
