Manual feeding in the tray
The tray can hold special sizes and types of print material, such as postcards,
note cards, and envelopes (see "Print media specifications" on page 73).
To manually feed paper in the tray, see "Loading paper in the tray" on page 27
Tips on using the manual feeding in tray
• If you select Paper > Source > Manual Feeder from your printer driver,
you need to press OK each time you print a page.
• Load only one type, size and weight of print media at a time in the tray.
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper while printing when there is still
paper in the tray.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the
tray first and be placed in the center of the tray.
• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the
available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 73).
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them
into the in the tray.
• When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines
(see "Printing on special media" on page 29).

The media is also shown in the Printing Preferences. To get the highest
printing quality, select the proper media type from the Printing preferences

For example, if you want to print on labels, select Labels for Paper Type.
• When using special media, we recommend you feed one sheet at a time
(see "Print media specifications" on page 73).
