The printer offers two modes of printing, namely, printing with the automatic feeder tray and printing with the manual feeder tray. It prints with the automatic feeder tray by default, and it will print with the paper in the manual feeder tray first if there is print media in the manual feeder tray.

5.3.1. Printing with the Automatic Feeder Tray

Before printing, make sure that certain amount of media is loaded in the automatic feeder tray and there is no print media in the manual feeder tray.

| Note: | • For precautions on loading paper, see Chapter 2. • For the type of media to be printed with the automatic feeder tray, see Chapter2.

5.3.2. Printing with the Manual Feeder Tray

When loading paper into the manual feeder tray, the printer will automatically go into the manual feed mode.

| Note: | • The manual feed mode is to feed paper first from the manual feeder tray when paper is loaded into the manual feeder tray. • Generally, the manual feeder tray is used to print on special paper, such as envelopes, transparencies, etc., and only one piece of paper can be loaded each time.

• For loading paper into the manual feeder tray, see Chapter 2.

• For the type of media to be printed with the manual feeder tray, see Chapter 2.

5.4. Automatic Two-Sided Printing

1. The printer supports automatic two-sided printing of plain paper. Paper size supported by the automatic two-sided printing: A4/LETTER, LEGAL, OFICIO, Folio.

| Note: | If the paper is thin, it may wrinkle. If the paper is curled, make it flat and put it back into the automatic feeder tray. • Trying the automatic two-sided printing may damage the printer if some paper media are not suitable for automatic two-sided printing.

• If the paper loaded into the automatic feeder tray at one time exceed 250 pages, paper will jam or cannot be fed in.

• Automatic two-sided printing does not support poster function.

• For loading paper and the type of media to be printed with the automatic feeder tray, see Chapter 2. It is recommended to use the standard paper.

• For information about how to deal with paper jams, see Chapter 8.

2. The printer supports automatic two-sided printing with the automatic feeder tray and automatic two-sided printing with the manual feeder tray.

Ensure that certain amount of media is loaded into the automatic feeder tray before printing.

2) Automatic two-sided printing with the manual feeder tray.

Feed paper from the manual feeder tray for automatic two-sided printing.

When you put paper in the manual feeder tray, the printer will give priority to use the print paper in the manual feeder tray.

• During the printing process, the printer will automatically adjust the direction of the text of the page.
