Using Cut Sheet Paper

You can print on many types of cut sheet paper and other media. The printer accepts sheets ranging from letter-size (8.5 × 11 inches) to 44 × 62.2 inches. You can leave your roll paper in the printer when you print on cut sheets; just make sure it’s rolled up and fastened with the roll paper belt(s), as described on page 2-18.

If you’re using stock more than 19 mil (0.5 mm) thick, see page 2-20for instructions. You will not be able to follow the procedure described in this section.

Follow these steps to load cut sheets:

1.Make sure the printer is on and the roll paper cover is closed.

2.Press the Paper Source button until the Sheet light comes on.

3.Make sure the paper set lever is pushed all the way in, in the secured position.
