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
.)
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
.)
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.

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.
