Paper Handling

The following section guides you through problems in handling single sheets of paper and continuous paper. If you are having problems using the optional cut-sheet feeder or pull tractor, see Options later in this chapter.

Single sheets do not feed properly.

Paper was inserted in the sheet guide, but the platen did not move and paper was not fed.

The left edge guide may be set too far to the right so that the

paper detector cannot sense it. Move the paper a little to the left. The PAPER OUT light should go off.

Paper was inserted in the sheet guide, and the platen rotated, but paper was not fed.

Check that the paper release lever is pushed back to the single sheet position.

Check that the paper guide is installed properly.

The left and right edge guides may be too close together, preventing the paper from feeding smoothly. Adjust the position of the edge guides so that the paper can move up and down freely.

The paper may not be firmly inserted. When feeding thicker than normal paper, press down lightly on the paper.
