• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into the manual feeder first and be placed in the center of the tray.

• To ensure printing quality and to prevent paper jams, only load the available paper (see "Print media specifications" on page 75).

• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading them into the manual feeder.

• When printing on special media, you must follow the loading guidelines (see "Printing on special media" on page 31).

• When papers overlap when printing using the manual feeder, open tray 1 and remove the overlapping papers then try printing again.

• When paper does not feed well while printing, push the paper in manually until it starts feeding automatically.
