Loading paper in the manual feed slot

Printing on thick paper, labels, envelopes or small paper

When the back output tray is pulled down, the machine has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot through to the back of the machine. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thick paper, labels, envelopes or paper that is smaller than 105 × 148 mm (or A6 size).
Note Note
Remove each printed sheet or envelope immediately to prevent a paper jam.

Note Note
Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.
Make sure that the paper or print media (see Acceptable paper and other print media) is straight and in the correct position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper may not be fed correctly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
Do not put more than one sheet of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.
Pull the paper out completely when you retry putting the paper into the manual feed slot.
If you put paper or other print media in the manual feed slot before the machine is in the Ready mode, an error may occur and the machine will stop printing.
