Printing on Single Sheets

Your printer has two paper entry slots for printing on single sheets: top and front. When continuous paper is loaded on the front or rear push tractor, you can load single sheets in the top or front slot without removing the continuous paper.

This section helps you determine which paper slot best suits your single-sheet printing needs.

Loading paper in the top slot

You can load ordinary single sheets, single-sheet multipart forms, envelopes, or postcards in the top slot.

Paper Release Lever Positions

You can load paper in the printer from various paper sources, such as the front push tractor or the paper guide. You set the paper release lever to indicate the paper source you want to use. The table below describes each paper release lever position.

Loading paper in the front slot

You can load ordinary single sheets, single-sheet multipart forms, or postcards in the front slot.

Note:

Always use the front paper slot to load single-sheet multipart forms that are bound by line gluing only at the side.
