Printing on plain paper, bond paper and transparencies from the paper tray

(For the recommended paper to use, see About paper.)

Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.

While pressing the green paper-guide release lever, slide the paper guides to fit the paper size. Make sure that the guides are firmly in the slots.

Note

For Legal size paper, press in the inside latches and pull out the back of the paper tray. (Legal size paper is not available in some regions.)

Put paper in the tray, and make sure that the paper is below the maximum paper mark (1). The side to be printed on must be face down.

Put the paper tray firmly back in the printer. Make sure that it is completely inserted into the printer.

Lift up the support flap 1 (1) to prevent paper from sliding off the face-down output tray.

Choose the following from the printer driver:

Paper Size (1)Media Type (2)Paper Source (3) and any other settings.

•	Windows^® printer driver

•	Macintosh^® printer driver

Send the print data to the printer.

Note

•	The Error LED on the control panel will light up to indicate No paper if the power switch is turned on before you put paper or transparencies in the tray. You can clear this error indication by pressing Go.
•	When printing on transparencies, remove each transparency as soon as it has been printed. Stacking the printed transparencies may cause a paper jam or the transparency to curl.

Printing on plain paper, bond paper or transparencies from the Manual feed slot

(For the recommended paper to use, see About paper.)

Note

The printer automatically turns on the Manual Feed mode when you put paper in the manual feed slot.

Lift up the support flap 1 (1) to prevent paper from sliding off the face-down output tray, or remove each page as soon as it comes out of the printer.

Open the manual feed slot cover.

Using both hands, slide the manual feed slot paper guides to the width of the paper that you are going to use.

Using both hands, put one piece of paper or one transparency in the manual feed slot until the front edge of the paper or transparency touches the paper feed roller. When you feel the machine pull in the paper, let go.

Note

•	Put the paper into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.
•	Make sure that the paper or transparency is straight and in the correct position on the manual feed slot. If it is not, the paper or the transparency may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
•	Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it may cause a jam.
•	If you put any media (paper, transparency and so on) in the manual feed slot before the printer is in the Ready state, the media may be ejected without being printed on.

Choose the following from the printer driver:

Paper Size (1)Media Type (2)Paper Source (3) and any other settings.

•	Windows^® printer driver

•	Macintosh^® printer driver

Send the print data to the printer.

After the printed page comes out of the printer, put in the next sheet of paper or transparency as in Step 4 above. Repeat for each page that you want to print.

Note

•	The Error LED on the control panel will flash to indicate No paper in the manual feed slot until you put a sheet of paper or transparency in the manual feed slot.
•	When printing on transparencies, remove each transparency as soon as it has been printed. Stacking the printed transparencies may cause a paper jam or transparency to curl.
