Loading fanfold paper
This section tells you how to load fanfold paper. Note that you can also use cut- sheet paper and multi-part form paper. For details on using other types of paper, see “Paper Handling” on page 38 of this manual.
❏Remove the paper guide from the printer.
❏Position the stack of paper behind the printer.
❏Make sure printer power is turned off.
❏Set the release lever to the fanfold position.
❏Grasping the two back corners of the printer with the palms of your hands, lift up with your thumbs at the two thumb holds on either side of the rear cover until it opens. Allow the rear over to swing open as far as it will go.
Important!
You can also completely remove the rear cover by lifting it straight up from the printer while the cover is just past half way open.
