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.
