LOADING SINGLE SHEETS

This section will take you through the procedures for loading single sheets of paper.

If you are using the optional automatic sheet feeder (SF-lODQ), refer to the ASF instruction booklet.

Automatic loading

Single sheets can be loaded manually with the power off, or automatically with the power on. We will start the easy way with automatic loading.

1.Place the paper guide in position by inserting the tabs, located on the bottom of the assembly, into the slots on the rear cover of the printer.

2.Adjust the paper guides to match the size of the paper you will be using. Remember that printing will start some distance from the left-hand edge of the carriage.

3.Turn on the power using the switch located at the front of the printer. The printer will beep, indicating that there is no paper in position for printing. The orange POWER indicator will also flash to confirm this.
