Printing on Single Sheets

You can load single sheets up to 420 mm (16.5 inches) wide using the built-in paper feeder or the manual insertion slot.

Tips on using the paper feeder

For the steps on using the paper feeder, see “Loading paper in the paper feeder” in Chapter 1. Following the tips below will give you the best performance when loading paper with the paper feeder.

Ll Load paper into the paper feeder before you turn on the printer or send data. When the printer receives data from the computer, it loads a single sheet and begins to print.

Cl If the printer runs out of paper during a print job, reload the paper feeder and then press the LOAD/EJECT button to continue printing.

tl Press the LOAD/EJECT button if you need to eject a sheet of loaded paper.

Cl You can switch to either manual loading or to the optional push tractor without removing the paper supply from the paper feeder. For details, see “Loading paper manually” or “Switching to continuous paper” later in this chapter.

UIf the ink does not dry fast enough, try removing sheets one at a time as they finish printing.

QThe default page length for paper loaded from the paper feeder is 61 lines (letter-size paper) or 65 lines (A4-size paper). You can change it using your software or printer commands, if necessary. See the Appendix for more about printer commands.
