    Precautions on Loading Paper in the Manual Feed Tray
    IMPORTANT
    • Be sure to load paper in portrait orientation.
    • When printing from the manual feed tray, you cannot specify multiple copies or multiple pages. If you specify multiple copies or multiple pages and perform printing, the second and subsequent paper is fed from the multi-purpose tray regardless of the paper size or paper type.
    • Load the paper so that it is straight.
    • If the paper is curled or folded at corners, flatten it before loading it in the printer.
    • You cannot print on the reverse side (glued side) of envelopes.
    • Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the paper. If the paper guides are too loose or too tight, this may result in misfeeds or paper jams.
    NOTE
    • To print paper with letterheads or logos, load the paper with the printing side facing up as follows.
    • To print envelopes, load them so that the printing side is facing up and the flap is toward the left.
    • Before loading envelopes, flatten curls as follows.
    1. Place the envelopes on a flat surface, and then flatten them to release any remaining air.
    2. Be sure that the edges are pressed tightly.
    3. Press any stiff corners of the envelopes to flatten the curls.
