9.Attach the paper guide and slide the edge guides (?) to the middle of the paper guides. Then close the paper guide cover (@).

Note:

Always close the printer cover before printing. The printer does not print when the cover is open.

10.Turn on the printer. You may need to check and change the printer driver settings. When the printer receives data, it automatically loads the paper and starts printing. The printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back of the printer.

After you finish printing, follow the steps in the next section to tear off your printed document. If the first printed line on your page appears too high or low, you can fix this using the micro adjust feature as described in “Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position” on page 22.

Caution:

Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position while the printer is turned on; this may damage the printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position. The knob can be used when the printer is turned off only.
