Printing on Thicker Paper and Card Stock
When the rear cover is lifted up, the machine has a straight paper path from the manual feed slot to 
the rear of the printer. Use this paper feed and output method when you want to print on envelopes, 
thicker paper or card stock.
1Select manual feed mode in the printer driver.
2Send the print data as usual.
3Lift up the rear cover of the machine.
4Adjust the manual feed paper guides to the width of the paper you are using.
5Insert a single sheet of paper into the manual feed slot until the front edge touches the paper feed 
rollers. Let go of the paper as the machine pulls it into position.
6After the machine ejects the printed page, return to Step 5 to insert the next sheet of paper. The 
machine will wait until you insert the next sheet of paper. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 for each page to 
be printed.
7When you have finished printing, close the rear cover of the machine.
To prevent the possibility of transparencies smudging as they stack in the output 
bin, remove each transparency after it exits.
