for single-sheet feeding, as explained below.
Single-sheet feeding position - for loading single
sheets (including envelopes and postcards) from the
paper guide, the optional cut-sheet feeder, or the
optional roll paper holder.

paper from the tractor.

Adjusting the Paper Thickness Lever

You need to set the paper thickness lever to match the
thickness of your paper. When you print on ordinary single-
sheet or continuous paper, set the lever to the "0" position on
the scale as shown below.
The following table provides guidelines for selecting the
appropriate lever position for the type of paper you are using.
Paper type
Thin paper
Ordinary paper (single sheets or continuous paper)
Multi-part forms (carbonless)
2 parts (original plus + 1 copy)
3 parts (original plus + 2 copies)
4 parts (original plus + 3 copies)
5 parts (original plus + 4 copies)
Labels and postcards
Envelopes*
* For thin envelopes, such as airmail envelopes, select position 2 or
3; for regular envelopes, select position 4; for thick envelopes,
select position 4, 5, or 6.
Caution:
Always set the paper thickness lever back to the "0"
position before you print on ordinary paper again.

Using Single Sheets

Your printer can print on single sheets of paper from 3.6 to
11.7 inches (92 to 297 mm) wide.
You can load one sheet of paper at a time into the paper guide
at the front of the printer, or you can load a stack of paper in
the optional cut-sheet feeder.
Note:
If you load long paper (for example, legal size paper),
leave enough space at the back of the printer so that the
paper is not obstructed.
