User’s Guide

Note 3:
Use only one type of paper at a time.

Note 4:
Pushing the paper feed guide too hard against the
paper can bend the paper. Adjust the position of the
paper feed guide so that it just touches the paper.

Loading paper in manual feed mode

Use manual feed mode when printing on thick paper,
cards and other kinds of special printing media. In man-
ual feed mode you should load only one sheet at a time.

1.

Switch the paper feed switch to position “M”.

2.

Remove any paper from the sheet feeder.

3.

Make sure that the paper stopper is not lifted.

4. Insert the sheet of paper straight into the sheet feeder.
