Handling sheets for paper feed slots
Note
•Y ou can adjust the strength of vacuum holding paper against the Platen when the Release Lever
is up. If it is dif cult to load paper , press the ▲or ▼button on the Control Panel to adjust the
strength. Increase the vacuum by pressing the ▲button or decrease it with the ▼button. Three
levels are available.
However , even if you increase the vacuum, it may not be suf cient to hold some types of paper
against the Platen well. In this case, use your hand to load the paper .
•A sheet is held in place by vacuuming through holes on the Platen . Although the vacuuming may
produce a noise when paper is loaded in some positions, it does not indicate a problem. If the noise
is distracting, try moving the paper over slightly to the left or right (up to 1 mm [0.039 in]) while
keeping it parallel to the Paper Alignment Line .
•The vacuum remains on for about 30 seconds during loading. If you cannot nish loading a sheet
during this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the vacuum suction again.
3. Lower the Release Lever and close the T op Cover .
The printer now starts feeding the paper .
After the paper is advanced, the printer automatically goes online and starts printing.
If no print job has been received from the computer beforehand, the printer automatically shows
a menu for selection of the paper type on the Display Screen .
In this case, select the type of paper . ( → P .213)
Note
•When using the Output Stacker , if you will print on large, stif f sheets, we recommend adjusting the
Output Stacker into the lowest position to prevent printed sheets from being bent ( → P .220)
