Printer Acoustical Feed-Backs

Except for paper handling and when the factory setting for beep is not changed, the printer beeps in the following ways when you press a control panel button, as follows.

A short beep indicates that the printer accepts your pressing or specification.

A longer beep indicates that your specification is invalid.

In a certain mode, a middle long beep indicates that the specified mode becomes active and a short beep indicates the end of the mode.

When the Fault indicator lights, the printer also makes a longer beep.

Selecting Paper

The printer can handle either single sheets or continuous forms. Single sheets, also called cut sheets, include envelopes and noncontinuous, multipart forms. Continuous forms include labels and multipart forms fed into the printer using the forms tractors.

For best results, use paper that meets the specifications listed in the following table. (See Appendix B “Printer and Paper Specifications” for detailed specifications.) If you are unsure of the suitability of a particular type of paper, try testing the paper or consult your dealer.
