8.Insert the paper into the front, bottom, or rear paper slot as described below until it emerges between the platen and the ribbon guide. Then pull up the paper until the perforation between the first and second page is even with the top of the printer’s ribbon.

Before you load paper in the front slot, remove the front paper guide. Then load paper printable side up.

Load paper in the bottom slot printable side up (forward).

Before you load paper in the rear slot, remove the paper guide. Then load paper in the rear slot printable side down.

12.Turn on the printer. Remove any slack in the paper and adjust the top-of-form position by pressing the LF/FF button or using the micro adjust feature. (To use the micro adjust feature, see “Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position” on page 22.) The printer will start printing at the current position without advancing the paper.

Caution:

Never use the knob to remove slack in the paper or to adjust the top-of-form position while the printer is turned on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position. The knob can be used only when the printer is turned off.

Always remove any slack from the paper; otherwise print quality may be reduced.

13. Attach the printer cover and close the paper guide cover.

Note:

Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does not print when the cover is open.

14.You may need to check and change the printer driver settings. When the printer receives data, it automatically loads the paper and starts printing. As shown below, the printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back of the printer.

9.Fit four holes of the paper over the tractor pins on both sprockets. Then close the sprocket covers.

10.Slide the right sprocket to remove any slack in the paper; then lock it in place by pushing the sprocket lock back.

11.If you use the front slot, attach the front paper guide with the continuous paper positioned as shown below. Then close it.

If you use the rear slot, replace the paper guide and make sure the edge guides are together in the middle of the paper guide.
