Loading paper in the automatic feeder

The automatic feeder can hold approximately 100 sheets of paper.

You do not need to push the paper into the printer or press the Paper
Feed button for the printer to load the paper!

1    Insert paper against the right side of the automatic feeder.

If the paper has a preferred print side, insert the paper with the
print side facing you.

     Insert letterhead with the top of the page pointing down.

2    Squeeze the release tab and the left paper guide together, and
     lide the left paper guide to the edge of the paper.

3    You are now ready to print.

Loading envelopes or other print media in the automatic feeder

The automatic feeder can hold:

25 transparencies or glossy film
     10 envelopes or card stock

Transparencies, Glossy Film

Load transparencies and glossy film the same way you load regular
paper.

Notes:

Insert transparencies with a removable stripe so the stripe is away
from you.

Insert transparencies with a paper backing so the glued edge is
pointing down.

Be sure to remove each transparency or glossy film from the paper exit
area before the next one has finished printing in order to avoid ink
smearing.

Envelopes, Thick Paper, Card Stock

To load envelopes, thick paper, or other card stock in the automatic
feeder, follow these steps:

1    Remove any paper in the automatic feeder.

2    Place the envelopes or other card stock against the right edge of
     the automatic feeder.

Always place the preferred print side facing you.

Insert hagaki and envelopes so that the stamp location is in the lower
right-hand corner.

Insert index cards and postcards vertically so the shortest side is fed
into the printer first.

3    Squeeze the release tab and the left paper guide together, and
     slide the left paper guide to the right until it rests against
     the envelopes or card stock.

4    Before you send a job to print, choose the appropriate paper size
     and paper type in the Lexmark printer software.

Loading the manual feeder

You can print from the manual feeder without removing paper or
envelopes from the automatic feeder.

The manual feeder allows you to print one sheet of print media at a
time.

Before loading the manual feeder, select Manual Feeder as the Paper
Source from the Paper Source section of the Paper Tab

Load paper or other specialty media

1    Locate the manual feeder

2    Place one piece of paper or specialty media against the right
     edge of the manual feeder.

Always place the preferred print side facing you.

Insert paper or other media against the right edge of the manual
feeder.

Insert an envelope so that the return address is in the upper right-
hand corner.

Insert an index card or postcard vertically so the shortest side is fed
into the printer first.

When loading a transparency with a paper backing, load with the glued
edge pointing down.

Remove each transparency or glossy film from the paper exit area before
the next one is printed to avoid smearing

3    Push the media downward until the printer automatically loads it.

     appropriate paper size and paper type in the Lexmark printer
     software.
