Media and tray
_ 13
Manual tray
The manual tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as
postcards, note cards, and envelopes. It is useful for single page printing on
letterhead or colored paper.
Tips on using the manual tray
•
If you select
Manual Feeder
for
Source
from your software
application, you need to press
(cancel button) each time you print
a page and load only one type, size and weight of print media at a
time in the manual tray.
•
To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing. This also
applies to other types of print media.
•
Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into
the manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
•
Always load the specified print media only to avoid paper jams and
print quality problems. (See "Print media specifications" on page 44.)
•
Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into the manual tray.
1.
Load the paper in the manual tray.
•
Do not force the paper beyond the surface with
mark
when loading.
•
When printing the special media, you must follow the
loading guideline. (See "Printing on special media" on
page 13.)
•
When papers overlap when printing using manual tray,
open tray 1 and remove overlapping papers then try
printing again.
•
When paper does not feed well while printing, push the
paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.
2.
Squeeze the manual tray paper guides and adjust them to the width
of the paper. Do not force them too much, or the paper will bent
resulting in a paper jam or skew.
3.
To print in application, open an application and start the print menu.
4.
Open
Printing Preferences
. (See "Opening printing preferences" on
page 17.)
5.
Press the
Paper
tab in
Printing Preferences

appropriate paper type.
For example, if you want to use a label, set the paper type to
Label
.
6.
Select
Manual Feeder
in paper source, then press
OK
.
7.
Start printing in application.
If you are printing multiple pages, load the next sheet after the first
page prints out, and press the
(cancel button). Repeat this step
for every page to be printed.
PRINTING ON SPECIAL MEDIA
