Cut Sheet Feeder

Operating the cut sheet feeder

After stacking paper in the cut sheet feeder, turn on the printer and make sure that the ON LINE light is on. In on line status, a new sheet of paper loads automatically whenever a printable character or line feed command is sent to the printer.

Note: If a sheet is not ejected properly when the cut sheet feeder mode is on, the beeper sounds repeatedly.

Paper out condition

When the printer is on line and receives print data from the computer, the first sheet is automatically loaded. Subsequent sheets are automatically loaded as necessary.

In the cut sheet feeder mode, the PAPER OUT light goes on while a sheet of paper is being fed, but the printer remains on line.

When the paper bin is empty, the printer automatically goes off line and the beeper sounds repeatedly. Also, the PAPER OUT light goes on. To resume printing, add more paper, and press the ON LINE button.

Note: If you turn off your printer during the time the printer detects a paper out or paper jam condition, any data remaining in the printer’s buffer is discarded.
