If you’re using an HP Color Laser MFP 179fnw and need to manually feed paper into the printer, it can be a bit confusing at first. Here’s a simple step-by-step guide to help you do it easily.
First, turn off your printer and make sure it’s unplugged for safety. Open the main paper tray and take out any paper that’s already loaded there. You might see a small slot or feeder slot somewhere near the front or back of the printer. Usually, this slot is quite small—roughly the size of a standard sheet of paper.
Locate this manual feed slot, which is generally on the front or side of the printer. Gently push aside any covers or doors covering this area if needed. Insert a single sheet of plain paper into this slot, making sure it’s aligned straight and pushed in gently but firmly.
After inserting the paper, turn your printer back on. When you’re ready to print, select the manual feed option from your print dialog box on your computer. This way, the printer will know to pull paper from this manual slot instead of the loaded tray.
Always make sure the paper is flat and not wrinkled to avoid jams. When you’re finished printing, remove any remaining paper from the manual feed slot and close any covers.
If you follow these steps and still have trouble, check your printer manual or the official HP support site for specific images or instructions related to your model. This method should help you manually feed paper whenever you need to print on a different type or size of paper, or if the main tray runs out.
Happy printing!
