Step 2¨ Install the Ink Cartridges

Install the necessary ink cartridges into the ink cartridge holders. In simultaneous full color + foil color printing, up to two foil colors can be used provided that full color printing is executed with cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and Finish inks. Even when undercoating using VPhoto Primer ink, simultaneous full color + foil color printing is possible by exchanging ink cartridges when the corresponding message is displayed.

Step 3¨ Load the Paper in Your Printer

The method used for loading paper depends on the paper type. Use manual feed mode for cardborad (thick paper) and greeting cards. For plain paper or Laser Paper, you may also use auto- matic feed mode to print a number of sheets at one time. For details, see the section entitled “Loading Paper” in Chapter 1.

1.For manual feed mode, set the paper feed switch to posi-

tion “M”; for automatic feed mode, set it to “A”.

2.For Letter paper, fully extend the paper support.

3.Adjust the paper feed guide to the width of the paper.

4.For manual feeding load one sheet of paper into the sheet feeder and press the ready/insert button. For automatic feeding, load all of the sheets together.
