Apple 12/600PS manual Placing paper and transparencies in the multipurpose tray

Placing paper and transparencies in the multipurpose tray

You can use the multipurpose tray for all your printing jobs. You can keep a small stack of paper in the tray and let the printer feed the paper automatically, or you can use the multipurpose tray for manual feed printing.

With the Auto Select feature on in the Print dialog box, the printer draws paper automatically from any source that holds the correct size paper. To tell the printer the size of paper in the multipurpose tray, use the Apple Printer Utility. The printer software can then determine correctly when to draw paper automatically from the multipurpose tray. For more information about defining the size of paper in the multipurpose tray, see Chapter 2 if you have a Macintosh, or Chapter 3 if you have an IBM PC or compatible computer.

Do not stack paper higher than this line.

Slide the width guides so they rest against the paper. If the paper bows out even slightly, the guides are too tight.

Insert the paper, top first, face down, as far as it can go inside the printer.

For manual-feed printing, place a single sheet of paper or transparency film in the multipurpose tray.

The multipurpose tray holds up to 100 sheets of paper. When the printer expects to find paper in the tray (for example, during a manual feed print job), the Paper Out light comes on to let you know that you should put paper in the tray.

By the way: You can have the Color LaserWriter 12/600 PS print using a first sheet from the multipurpose tray and remaining sheets from a paper cassette (or vice versa.) For example, you can place letterhead paper in the multipurpose tray and use it for printing the first page of a letter, and print all following pages on plain paper from the standard paper cassette (or the optional feeder, if you have one installed).
