Manual Feeding

Because the printer uses the MP tray as both a manual feed tray and a paper cassette, manual feed works differently than for earlier LaserJets. If you place a piece of media in the MP tray, manual feed will not automatically be selected unless you are in the MP TRAY=FIRST mode.

Select the manual feed option and the paper size from your software and send the job to the printer.
Wait until the printer goes off line and the control panel display asks you to load the appropriate media (MF FEED [paper size] or ME FEED [envelope size]).
Load the appropriate media into the MP tray.
Press On Line to print the document. (Do not press Continue, this will cancel the requested paper size). The printer may go off line and display another manual feed request. If this occurs, load the requested media in the MP tray; the printer will return on line.

Configuring the Multi-Purpose Tray for Continuous Feeding

Open the MP tray and load the appropriate media. (Up to 100 sheets of paper, 10 envelopes or 75 label sheets or transparencies.)
Configure the MP tray for the appropriate media size use the Paper Size key.
1. Press the Paper Size key. The printer will remain on line.
2. Use + to step through the menu selections until you reach the appropriate size.
3. Press Enter to save the selection (an asterisk (*) will appear next to the item).
4. Press On Line to return to 00 Ready
Use your software application to select the appropriate envelope size. Choose MP tray as the paper source.
Send the print job to the printer.

Loading Paper into the MP Tray

Open the MP Tray by grasping the door on the front of the printer, at the pattern of raised dots on each side.
Pull the tray down gently until it stops.
Pull out the tray extension, if needed for the paper size you are printing.
Slide the paper width guides to the appropriate size marked on the tray.
Place paper in the MP Tray, with the side to be printed down. The height of the paper stack should not exceed the limit mark on the paper width guides.
Paper Loading Differs by Size
Load Letter or A4 with the top of the page to be printed placed toward the left side of the MP Tray.

Load Legal, Tabloid or A3 with the top of the page to be printed leading into the printer.

Load a Single Envelope in the tray between the paper width guides, with side to be printed down, the back flap lying against the right paper guide.
Slide paper into the printer as far as it will go, until leading edges rest lightly against the printer.
Make sure paper fits squarely and firmly between the paper width guides, without bending the paper.
