■Loading paper and other media

Paper and other media must be loaded one sheet at a time.

Before you attempt to load single sheets of paper or other media into the feed slot on the front of the printer, make sure the battery pack is installed. If the battery pack is not installed, you may experience problems feeding paper or other media into the front feed slot. Install the battery pack and leave it installed, even if you intend to use the printer only with the AC adapter.

Follow this procedure to load paper or other media one sheet at a time.

Before you load a sheet of paper or other media in the printer, make sure the computer is turned on. If you turn on the computer after the printer is loaded, the sheet will eject from the printer.

1. Open the printer driver for Windows 98, Windows 95 or Windows

3.1so you can check the settings and make adjustments for the print job.

Make sure the printer driver has been installed for Windows 98,

Windows 95, Windows 3.1, or your DOS software application.

To open the printer driver for Windows 98/Windows 95

•In your software application, pull down the File menu and select Print.

•Check the Name entry box. If BJC-50 is not displayed as the selected printer, click the down-arrow and select BJC-50 from the pull down list.
