cCaution:
Always set the paper thickness lever back to the “0” position
before you print on ordinary paper again.
Using Single Sheets Your printer can print on single sheets of paper from 92 to 297 mm
(3.6 to 11.7 inches) wide. See Appendix A for detailed single-sheet
paper specifications.
You can load one sheet of paper at a time into the paper guide at
the front of the printer, or you can load a stack of paper in the
optional cut-sheet feeder. (See Chapter 5 for more information on
the optional cut-sheet feeder.)
Note:
If you load long paper (for example, legal size paper), leave enough space
at the back of the printer so that the paper is not obstructed.
