  • Insert the paper into the manual feed slot with the print side face up.

  • Let go of the paper when you feel the machine automatically feed it slightly into the slot.

  • Make sure that the paper is straight and centered in the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper may jam or the printout may be skewed.

  • Do not put more than one envelope or sheet of paper into the manual feed slot at once. Inserting more than one sheet into the manual feed slot may cause a paper jam.

  • To easily remove a small printout from the output tray, use both hands to lift the machine's scanner cover as shown below.

  • You can still use the machine while the scanner cover is open.

  • To close the scanner cover, push it down with both hands.
