Brother HL-1040 Paper Handling

Standard: 200-sheet multi-purpose sheet feeder

Loading the Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder

Open the multi-purpose sheet feeder cover.
Load paper in the multi-purpose sheet feeder. The feeder can hold up to 200 sheets of plain paper or up to 10 envelopes.
Excessive sheets may cause paper jams. Make sure that the paper is stacked below the arrow mark.
Move the paper guide to fit the paper width.
Close the multi-purpose sheet feeder cover.
Open the output tray and extend the support wire.

Using Manual Feed

The multi-purpose sheet feeder also has a manual feed slot. You can manually load paper sheet by sheet into this slot. You do not need to remove paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.

If bi-directional communication is not operational between the printer and the computer, such as when the printer is shared on a network, the dialog box will not appear to load the next page. Manual paper feeding is not recommended when your printer is attached to a network.

Make sure that you have selected the manual paper feed, paper size and orientation in your software application.
Holding the selected size of paper in the selected orientation, place the side of the paper you wish to print on face down into the manual feed slot. Align the paper to the left side of the feed slot, insert it all the way into the manual feed slot. Move the paper guide of the manual feed slot to the paper width you are using.
The printer automatically starts printing. After the first page is printed, the dialog box appears and prompts you to load the next page. Load a sheet and choose OK to resume printing.
