Loading the manual feeder
The manual feeder is located at the front of the printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. For information
on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see What types of print media can be loaded? on page 10.
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 likely skew the print job.
2 Adjust the guides to the print media 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.
Note: Do not force the print media into the
feeder. Forcing the media causes jams.
• Insert envelopes with the flap side down and with the
stamp area as shown.
• Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Oil from your fingers can affect print quality.
• For simplex printing, load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first. For duplex printing, load
letterhead facedown, with the top of the sheet entering first.
