| Note: | • If the paper loaded into the automatic feeder tray at one time exceeds 150 pages, paper will jam or cannot be fed in. • When using the printed paper, please make the side to be printed (the blank side) up. • When printing on A5 paper, it is recommended that the paper is fed in landscape orientation, which can extend the service life of the laser toner cartridge.

2.3.2. Loading into the Manual Feeder Tray

| Note: | • Only P2600 series products support manual feeding.

a) Open the feeder tray.

b) Slide the manual feed guides to match both sides of the paper.

c) Raise the output tray to avoid the paper from slipping and falling.

d) Put the print media like an envelope or transparency into the manual feeder tray with two hands until the front end of the envelope or transparency contacts the correction roller.

| Note: | • When loading paper into the manual feeder tray, the printer will automatically enable the manual feed mode. • Load the paper into the manual feeder tray with the print-side up. When loading, the top of the paper first enters into the manual feeder tray.

• Ensure that the paper, envelope or transparency is loaded straightly and in the correct position of the manual feeder tray. Otherwise, it will result in a skewed printout or a paper jam.
