Manually feeding paper from tray 1
The manual feed feature is another way of printing on special paper from tray 1. Setting MANUAL
FEED to ON either in the printer driver or at the printer control panel stops the printer after each job
is sent, allowing you time to load special paper or other print media in tray 1. (See “MANUAL
FEED” on page 158 .) Press P AUSE /R ESUME to continue printing.
If there is already paper in tray 1 when you send the print job, and the printer control panel has
TRAY 1 TYPE=ANY and TRAY 1 SIZE=ANY as the default configuration for tray 1 operation, the
printer will not stop and wait for paper to be loaded. To have the printer wait, set TRAY 1 TYPE
and TRAY 1 SIZE to types other than ANY on the Paper Handling menu.
If you have selected MANUAL FEED=ON at the printer control panel, this setting will override the
printer driver, and all print jobs sent to the printer will request manually fed paper in tray 1 unless
a specific tray has been selected in the printer driver. If this feature is to be used only
occasionally, it is best to set
MANUAL FEED=OFF at the printer control panel and to select the
manual feed option in the printer driver on a job-by-job basis.
Note If the SIZE and TYPE are set to ANY , and MANUAL FEED PROMPT is set to UNLESS LOADED , then the
paper will be pulled from tray 1 without prompting. If MANUAL FEED PROMPT is set to ALWAYS , then
the printer will prompt you to load paper, even if tray 1 is set to TYPE=ANY and SIZE=ANY . (See
“MANUAL FEED PROMPT” on page 162 .)
