Printing on thick paper, labels and envelopes1
When the back output tray is pulled down, the printer has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot 
through to the back of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on thick 
paper, labels or envelopes. (For the recommended paper to use, see About paper on page 1 and Types of 
envelopes on page 3.)
aOpen the back cover (back output tray). 
bOpen the manual feed slot cover. 
c
Pull down the two gray levers, one on the left-hand side and one on the right-hand side, toward you as 
shown in the illustration below.

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 
it touches the paper feed roller. When you feel the machine automatically pull it in, let go.
Note
 Put the paper or envelope into the manual feed slot with the side to be printed face up.
 Make sure that the paper or envelope is straight and in the proper position on the manual feed slot. If it is 
not, the paper or the envelope may not be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
 Pull the paper or envelope out completely when you retry putting the paper into the manual feed slot.
 Do not put more than one piece of paper or one envelope in the manual feed slot at any one time, as it 
may cause a jam.
 If you put paper or other print media in the manual feed slot before the printer is in the Ready state, an 
error may occur and the printer will stop printing.

Note
 If envelopes get smudged during printing set the Media Type to Thick Paper or Thicker Paper to 
increase the fixing temperature. 
 If the envelopes are creased after they are printed, see Improving the print quality on page 154.
 (For Windows
® users) If DL size double flap envelopes are creased after printing, choose DL Long Edge 
in Paper Size, from the Basic tab. Put a new DL size double-flap envelope in the manual feed slot with 
the longest edge of the envelope in first, then print again.
 
 Envelope joints that are sealed by the manufacturer should be secure.
 All sides of the envelope should be properly folded without wrinkles or creases.

Duplex printing1
The supplied printer drivers for Windows® 2000 or greater and Mac OS X 10.3.9 or greater all enable duplex 
printing. For more information about how to choose the settings, see the Help text in the printer driver.
Guidelines for printing on both sides of the paper1

If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle.

If paper is curled, straighten it and then put it back in the paper tray or the manual feed slot.

If the paper is not feeding properly, it may be curled. Remove the paper and straighten it.

When you use the manual duplex function, it is possible that there may be paper jams or poor print quality. 
(If there is a paper jam, see Paper jams and how to clear them on page 147. If you have a print quality 
problem, see Improving the print quality on page 154.)
Note
 The screens in this section are from Windows
® XP. The screens on your computer may vary depending 
on your operating system.
 Make sure that the paper tray is completely inserted into the printer.
 You should use plain paper, recycled paper or thin paper. Do not use bond paper.
