LOADING PAPER

The following sections explain how to load paper - single-sheet (cut-sheet), without the Automatic Sheet feeder, and also the operations necessary for loading continuous (fanfold) stationery.

If you are using the Automatic Sheet Feeder, please refer to the instructions supplied with the Automatic Sheet Feeder unit.

Cut-sheet paper

Place the paper guide in position, locating the lugs on the bottom of the assembly into the slots on the printer body.

Make sure that the release lever is pushed towards the back of the printer (h position).

Adjust the paper guides to match the size of paper you will be using (re- membering that printing will start some distance from the left-hand edge of the carriage). There are markings molded into the back plate of the assembly to help you if you wish to center the paper. If you am centering the paper using the markings molded into the paper guide, remember that printing will start from the left-hand edge, unless you reset the left and right margins using software commands.

Place the paper between the guides, placing the side on which you want to print towards the back of the printer. Gently push the paper down in the guides until you feel it stop.
