Bottom: 1/5th inch

Continuous Feeding

Standard : Paper Cassette [capacity: 100 sheets of Letter, Executive, A4 or Legal paper].

Manual Feeding

  1. Select the manual feed option and the paper size from your software and send the job to the printer.
  2. The printer's data light will blink indicating that the printer is ready to receive the paper.
  3. Select the paper path. If you want to use the rear paper path, set the paper path knob at the rear of the printer to the down position.
  4. Gently insert the paper or envelope face up into the manual feed slot.

    Align it to the left of the slot until you feel resistance on the left corner. Hold the page there until the printer grabs the top edge of the paper. (If the paper is slightly crooked, the printer straightens it automatically.)
