4Get the banner paper ready for the printer:

■From the stack of banner paper, tear off the number of sheets you need to print the banner. (You must have at least five sheets in the stack.)

■Tear off the perforated strips, if there are any.

■Fan the stack so that the pages don’t stick together in the printer.

5Put the paper in the IN drawer so that the unattached edge is at the top of the stack. Insert the stack edge first into the IN drawer until it stops.

Unattached edge

6Slide the paper adjusters so that they fit snugly against the edges of the paper stack.

7Push the IN drawer back in.

8Print the banner.

You’ll notice that the printer and banner paper go through some start-up movements before it starts printing. Also, banner printing takes a while; it might be several minutes before you see the results.

What If

THE BANNER HAS A BIG GAP OR A CREASE WHERE YOU DON’T EXPECT IT

The printer might be picking up more than one sheet of paper at a time. Take the paper out, then fan the stack. Also be sure the top and bottom margins are set to zero in your banner program. Print the banner again.
