Media and tray_ 62
If you experience problems with paper feeding, check whether the
paper meets the media specification. Then try placing one sheet at
a time in the manual tray (See "Print media specifications" on
page 124).
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 OK 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 when there is
still paper in the manual tray. This also applies to other types of print
media.
• Print me
dia should be loaded face up with the top edge going into
the manual tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• Alwa
ys load the specified print media only to avoid paper jams and
print quality problems (See "Print media specifications" on
page 124).

them into the manual tray.

When using special media, we recommend you feed one paper at a
