The special feeder enables you to feed media manually, for example when you need only a few sheets of special media for your job. The special feeder can hold up to 100 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb bond), approximately 10 mm / 4" high. The special feeder feeds the media face up.

Alignment guides, to prevent skewed images. |
|

Alignment guides, to place the media in the correct position in the tray. |
The alignment tray prevents skewed images and ensures that media are fed straight ahead. You cannot use the auxiliary tray in combination with the alignment tray.
CAUTION
When you handle paper, take care not to cut your hands at the edges of the paper.
IMPORTANT
Do not load different sizes or types of media at the same time.
It is very important that you make the correct job settings for media, such as heavy paper or transparencies. The fixing unit can become dirty, which requires a service visit. Moreover, the image quality can become poor.
Feed vellum media one sheet at a time, and remove each sheet after delivery in the output tray. When you load several sheets together a paper jam can occur.
When you make two-sided prints, printed output can crease depending on the moisture absorption of the media.
When heavy media does not pass through properly, feed the sheets one by one.
When envelopes do not pass through properly, feed the envelopes one by one.
Do not collect more than ten printed envelopes in the output tray.
Envelopes can crease during the print process.
Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. When you do not load media correctly, a paper jam, dirty machine parts, or poor print quality can occur.
CAUTION
If the bulk paper module is attached, do not insert your hands in the gap between the alignment tray and thebulk paper module when clearing paper jams.
Check and prepare the media.
Awake the print system from sleep mode, if applicable.

Tightly rewrap the remaining media in the original package, and store the package in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures.
