Attaching the dust cover
The dust cover helps protect the tray from the environment. It also keeps the tray from being knocked out of position while 
it is extended.
Attach the dust cover to the back of the printer by aligning the tabs on the cover to the holes on the printer, then snap the 
cover into place.
Note:This feature may not be available for some models.Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							54Loading the manual feeder
Loading the manual feeder
The manual feeder is located at the front of the printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use 
the manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the tray. You must set the 
paper size before using the manual feeder. For more information, see your driver CD, or see Using the Local Printer 
Settings Utility on page75.
For information on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see Selecting print media on page43. Using only 
the specified print media helps prevent paper jams and print-quality problems.
To load the manual feeder:
1Place a sheet of the selected print media, 
print side facing up, at the center of the 
manual feeder, but only to the point where its 
leading edge can contact the paper guides. 
Otherwise, the printer will engage the print 
media too soon and likely skew the print job.
2Adjust the paper guides to the print media 
width.
3Hold both sides of the print media close to 
the manual feeder, and push it into the 
printer until it automatically engages.
There is a brief pause between the time the 
printer engages the print media and when it 
feeds into the printer.
Note:Do not force the print media into 
the feeder. Forcing the media 
causes jams.
•Insert envelopes with the flap side down and with the stamp area as shown.
•Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Oil from your fingers can affect print quality.
•Load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first.Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals 
						

							55Using the rear exit
Using the rear exit
The single-sheet rear exit provides a straight-through paper path to help reduce curling and potential jams. This is 
especially useful for specialty media, such as transparencies, labels, card stock, or index cards.
To use the rear exit, open the rear exit door. When the rear exit door is open, all print media comes out the rear exit. When 
closed, all media is sent to the output bin on top of the printer.
Note:If you print a multiple-page job with the rear exit door open, the print speed may slow down.Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals

10Press Continue to resume printing.
Note:Jam recovery is set to Auto by default. When jam recovery is set to Auto, the memory that holds the 
image of a page may be reused after the page is printed but before it has successfully exited the 
printer if that memory is needed for another use. Therefore, a jammed page may or may not be 
reprinted, depending on the overall memory usage of the printer. Downloaded From ManualsPrinter.com Manuals
