Printing Methods

Using both hands, put one piece of paper or one transparency in the manual feed slot until the front edge

of the paper or transparency touches the paper feed roller. When you feel the machine pull in the paper,

let go.

Note

•

Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.

•

Make sure that the paper or transparency is straight and in the correct position on the manual feed slot. If

it is not, the paper or the transparency may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper

jam.

•

Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.

•

If you put any media (paper, transparency and so on) in the manual feed slot before the printer is in the

Ready state, the media may be ejected without being printed on.
