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 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 111).
• 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 48).
• 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 width 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 53).
5. Press the Paper tab in Printing Preferences, and select an
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 OK. Repeat this step for every page
to be printed.
PRINTING ON SPECIAL MEDIA
The table below shows the available special media for each tray.
When using special media, we recommend you feed one paper at a
time. Check the maximum input number of media for each tray (See
"Print media specifications" on page 111).

The media types are shown in the Printing Preferences. This paper type
option allows you to set the type of paper to be loaded in the tray. This
setting appears in the list, so that you can select it. This will let you get the
best quality printout. If not, the desired print quality may not be achieved.
