6 - 7 USING THE DCP AS A PRINTER

Printing on thicker paper and card stock

When the back output tray is pulled down, the DCP has a straight

paper path from the manual feed tray or the MP tray through to the

back of the DCP. Use this paper feed and output method when you

want to print on thicker paper or card stock.

The manual feed tray (For DCP-8020)

Select the Paper Size, Media Type, Paper Source, and other

settings in the printer driver.

Media Type: Thick paper or Thicker paper

Paper Source: Manual

Open the back output tray.

Open the manual feed tray. Slide the paper guides to fit the

paper size.

Using both hands put the paper in the manual feed tray until the

front edge of the paper touches the paper feed roller and the

DCP grips the paper.

■

Make sure that the paper is straight and in the proper

position in the manual feed tray. If it is not, the paper may not

be fed properly, resulting in a skewed printout or a paper

jam.

■

Do not put more than one piece of paper in the manual feed

tray at any one time, or it may cause a jam.
