Printing FromYour PC

See “Acceptable Paper” in this chapter

Paper Cassette

The machine’s paper cassette can feed plain paper and transparencies. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by loading paper from the paper cassette. The paper should be inserted into the cassette with the printable side face down.

■Select the print command from your PC.

Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The printer screen displays RECEIVING DATA. If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically. When the machine finishes printing all data, it returns to online status.

You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application software.

If you wish to use custom paper size, not supported by application. Select the next larger paper size then adjust the print area by changing the left and right margins in your application software.

When you use labels, envelopes, organizer paper, card stock or thicker paper, be sure to use the manual feed slot.
