PAPER HANDLING

Switching to Single Sheets

To switch from continuous forms to single sheets:

1.Tear off your printed pages.

2.Retract the forms paper to the park position by pressing the LOAD button. The PAPER OUT indicator turns red.

CAUTION

Failure to retract the forms paper will cause paper jams.

3.Move the paper select lever forward to the single sheet position.

4.Mount the cut sheet stand or cut sheet feeder. (For details, see the section Using Single Sheets earlier in this chapter.) If you are using the cut sheet stand, press the LOAD button to advance the paper to the top-of-form position. If you are using the cut sheet feeder, you cannot advance paper by the LOAD button; only a command from the computer advances the paper to the top-of-form position.

You are now ready to print using single sheets.
