Loading fanfold paper

This section describes the procedure for loading fanfold paper. You can also use cut-sheet paper. For details on using cut-sheet paper, see “Loading cut-sheet paper” on page 14.

1.Position the stack of paper behind the printer. The following figure shows the correct path for fanfold paper.

Important!

To protect against paper jams, make sure that the fanfold paper is stacked in a position that is lower than the printer.

To decrease paper jams, be sure that the perforations do not get caught in anything in the paper path.

2.Make sure that the printer is turned off.

3.Set the release lever to the fanfold position.
