Print on envelopes, labels, or thick paper from the manual feed slot.

The machine is equipped with a manual feed slot where envelopes, labels, and thick paper can be manually fed one at a time. The paper tray is for plain paper, recycled paper, and thin paper only. When printing with the back cover open, the machine has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot through to the back of the machine.

    • Put the side to be printed on face up.
    • Make sure the paper, envelope, or label sheet is straight and in the proper position in the manual feed slot. If it is not, it may not feed properly resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
    • Do not put more than one sheet of paper, one envelope, or one label sheet in the manual feed slot at a time, as it may cause a jam.
    • If you put a sheet of paper, an envelope, or a label sheet in the manual feed slot before the machine is in Ready mode, it may be ejected without being printed on.
