cLift up the support flap to prevent paper from sliding off the face-down output tray. 
Note
If you choose not to lift up the output tray support flap, we recommend that you remove printed pages as 
soon as they come out of the printer.
 
dUsing both hands, slide the manual feed slot paper guides to the width of the paper that you are going 
to use.
 
eUsing both hands, put one piece of paper or one envelope in the manual feed slot until the front edge of 
the paper or envelope 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 proper 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.
