You can use the following types of print media: thin paper, plain paper, thick paper, bond paper, recycled paper, labels or envelopes. For best results, follow the instructions below: DO NOT put different types of paper in the paper tray at the same time because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.
Printing Methods Type and size of paper 1 1 The machine feeds paper from the installed paper tray or the manual feed slot. The names for the paper trays in the printer driver and this guide are as follows: Paper tray Tray 1 Manual feed slot Manual Duplex tray for automatic duplex printing (HL-2240D / HL-2242D / HL-2250DN / HL-2270DW only) DX When looking at this page, you can jump to the page for each printing method by clicking p in the table.
