    • When loading an envelope or a sheet of thick paper, push the envelope into the manual feed slot until you feel it grab the envelope.

    • When you are feeding Legal, Ledger or A3 size paper in the manual feed slot, the machine holds the printed page after printing so that the page does not fall. Once printing is complete, pull out the printed page and press OK.



  6. If the data does not fit on one sheet, the Touchscreen will prompt you to load another sheet of paper. Place another sheet of paper in the manual feed slot, and then press OK on the Touchscreen.

    • Make sure printing has finished before you close the manual feed slot cover.

    • When paper is placed in the manual feed slot, the machine always prints from the manual feed slot.

    • Paper inserted in the manual feed slot while a test page, fax or report is being printed will be ejected.

    • During the machine's cleaning process, paper you place in the manual feed slot will be ejected. Wait until the machine finishes its cleaning, and then put the paper into the manual feed slot again.
