Manual Feed Jobs
If you select a manual feed job where sheet feeder 1 is set for manual feed of collated sets, DO NOT load the sheet feeder. Instead, you will feed collated sets one at a time, by hand, as required.
  1. Before running a manual feed job, pull back the lever. This opens the feed mechanism for manual feed operation.
