Using Manual Feed Mode - Xerox Phaser 3600 User Manual

• Card stock: Print side up and the short edge entering the printer
first.
• Previously printed paper: Previously printed side down with an
uncurled edge toward the printer.
Note
Make sure that you have not loaded too much print material.
The print material buckles if you load a stack that is too thick or
if you push it in too far.
Caution
When you print on special material like envelopes, labels,
transparencies, or cards, the output location should be the
rear cover. Open the rear cover to use it. See page 5.9.
4 Squeeze tray1(MPT) paper width guides and adjust them to the
width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent,
which will result in a paper jam or skew.
5 When you print a document, set the paper source and type in the
software application. See the Software Section.
For information about setting the paper source and type on the
control panel, see page 2.4.
6 After printing, put the extender back to its place and close multi-
purpose tray.
Tips on using tray1(MPT)
• Load only one size of print media at a time in tray1(MPT).
• To prevent paper jams, do not add paper when there is still paper in
tray1(MPT). This also applies to other types of print media.
• Print media should be loaded face up with the top edge going into
tray1(MPT) first and be placed in the center of tray.
• Always load only the print media specified in page 5.1 to avoid paper
jams and print quality problems.
• Flatten any curl on postcards, envelopes, and labels before loading
them into tray1(MPT).
• When you print on 76 mm x 127 mm (3 x 5 inches) sized media on
tray1(MPT), open the rear cover for straight paper path to avoid
paper jams.
• Make sure to open the rear cover when you print on transparencies.
If not, they may tear while exiting the printer.

Using manual feed mode

You can manually load a sheet of print material in tray1(MPT) if you
select Manual Feed in the Source option from the Paper tab when you
change print settings to print a document. See the Software Section.
Manually loading paper can be helpful when you want to check the print
quality after each page is printed.
This loading procedure is almost the same as the procedure for loading
in tray1(MPT), except you load paper sheet-by-sheet in tray, send print
data to print the first page, and press Start/Stop on the control panel to
print each following page.
1 Load the paper with the side to be printed on facing up.
2 Squeeze tray1(MPT) paper width guides and adjust them to the
width of the paper. Do not force too much, or the paper will be bent,
which will result in a paper jam or skew.
3 When you print a document, set the paper source to Manual Feed
and select the appropriate paper size and type in the software
application. See the Software Section.
4 Print a document.
The display shows a message prompting you to load paper and
press Start/Stop.
