• Do not overly squeeze the "paper length guide" and "paper width guide",
otherwise it could easily lead to deformation of paper.

4. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately
remove the printed document after the printing is complete.
|
Note:
|
• It is recommended that you raise the output tray to prevent the paper from
slipping and falling after printing. If you choose not to raise the output tray, we
recommend that you immediately remove the printed paper from the printer.
• If more than 250 pages (80 g/m²) are put inside the auto feed tray at one time, paper jam or paper feed failure will be led to.
• If carrying out single-sided printing, please make sure that the side to be printed (the blank side) is face down.
|
2.3.2. Install manual feed tray
1. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately remove the printed document after the printing is complete.

2. Open manual feed tray.

3. Slide the paper deflector of manual feed tray to match the two sides of paper. Do not use excessive force; otherwise, paper will be made jammed or skewed.

4. Put a flat printing medium into the manual feed tray with both hands.

|
Note:
|
• The printer will enter manual feed mode automatically when you put papers inside the manual feed tray.
• Please put one printing medium inside the manual feed tray each time and put in another piece after finishing printing.
• Put the printing medium inside the manual feed tray with the printing side up; the top of paper should be put inside first.
|
5. When the printed page is output from the printer, put the second piece inside according to the above steps to continue printing. Slow action will lead to the prompt of paper out or paper failure of manual feed tray. After paper is put inside, printing will be resumed automatically; too quick action may make paper caught up in the printer, which will easily result in paper jam.
|
Note:
|
• After printing, please take out printed papers output from printer immediately. Stacked papers or envelops will lead to paper jam or wrapped paper.
