    position.

    they snap into position.

    envelope guides.

4.  Squeeze and hold the left paper guide release lever and slide the
    paper guide against the left side of the envelopes or index cards.

    For more information, see "How to choose a media type" and
    "How to choose a paper size" in The Online Guide.

Loading the manual feeder

You can print from the manual feeder without removing paper or envelopes
from the sheet feeder.

The manual feeder allows you to print one sheet at a time.

    Before loading the manual feeder, make sure Manual Feeder is selected
    as the paper source in the Lexmark 2050 printer software.  See "How to
    choose the Manual or Automatic feeder" in the Online Guide for more
    information.

    To feed paper, transparencies, envelopes, labels, or other media one
    at a time:

1.  Locate the manual feeder.

2.  Send the job to print.

3.  When prompted by the printer software, insert the print media into the
    manual feeder until the printer automatically loads it.

    Place the preferred print side facing you.

    Insert the paper or other media against the right edge of the manual
    feeder slot.

    Insert letterhead with the top of the page pointed down.

    When loading transparencies with a paper backing, load with the glued
    edge pointing down.

    Remove each transparency or glossy paper from the paper exit tray
    before the next one is printed to avoid ink smearing.
