Loading The Manual Feeder - Lexmark E 250d User Manual

Loading the manual feeder

The manual feeder is located at the front of the printer and can only feed one sheet of print media at a time. You can use the
manual feeder to make quick runs of paper types or sizes that are not currently loaded in the tray. You must set the paper
size before using the manual feeder. For more information, see your driver CD, or see Using the Local Printer Settings
Utility on page 75.
For information on acceptable print media to use in the manual feeder, see Selecting print media on page 43. Using only
the specified print media helps prevent paper jams and print-quality problems.
To load the manual feeder:
1
Place a sheet of the selected print media,
print side facing up, at the center of the
manual feeder, but only to the point where its
leading edge can contact the paper guides.
Otherwise, the printer will engage the print
media too soon and likely skew the print job.
2
Adjust the paper guides to the print media
width.
3
Hold both sides of the print media close to
the manual feeder, and push it into the
printer until it automatically engages.
There is a brief pause between the time the
printer engages the print media and when it
feeds into the printer.
Note: Do not force the print media into
the feeder. Forcing the media
causes jams.
• Insert envelopes with the flap side down and with the stamp area as shown.
• Hold transparencies by the edges, and avoid touching the print side. Oil from your fingers can affect print quality.
• Load letterhead faceup, with the top of the sheet entering first.
