safety, print quality, and to provide a ground path to discharge the electrostatic charge from synthetic media. When not attached to the standard tables, the extension table tops are designed to pivot into the storage position under their own weight.

CAUTION: The standard and accessory extension tables are intended for use only when attached to the printer as described in these instructions. When not in use, the tables should be stored with the table tops folded in the storage position. Use caution when operating the table tops and moving the tables, to avoid personal injury or damage to property.

NOTE: If the accessory tables were properly leveled when they were installed, they should not have to be leveled again. If sheet-fed media feed problems occur, make sure the accessory tables are securely latched to the standard tables, and verify that the tables are level. You can use the spirit (“bubble”) levels that are built into the sides of the table tops, or use a separate level. In either case, check for level over the fixed support assembly first, then over the folding support, and adjust the table wheels up or down as necessary.

NOTE: See Table A-2 Media sizes on page 83 for a list of supported media sizes.

1.If the rigid media tables are not already installed, position the input and output tables at each end of the media drive belt, and engage the attachment latches to the printer. Make sure that the pivoting table tops are securely latched in the operating position.

NOTE: If you have the optional roll-fed media accessory installed, remove the foam press rollers. The foam press rollers are not used with rigid media.

2.At the end of the Configure Media process (see Configure media on page 9), press Yes on the control panel:

OR

from the Home page screen, press Load Media.

Before you can load, you must configure the media as explained in Configure media on page 9.

3.On the control panel menu, press one of the following media rollers options, then press Proceed:

●Flat Media — if the rollers were set to “Yes” in the media configuration (see Configure media on page 9), the rollers will move up or down as needed to be just above the surface of the media. If the rollers were set to “No”, the rollers will remain at their highest point and will not be used. In either case, the full imageable length of the sheet is available for printing.

●Warped Media, Hold Down — when a sheet is loaded, the leading edge is advanced so that it is underneath the output roller. Printing is allowed only until the trailing edge of the sheet has reached the input roller. The imageable area of the sheet is reduced by 65.4 cm (25.8 in) from both the leading and trailing edges.

●Short Media — enables printing on sheets that are not long enough to reach the output roller and thickness sensor at the same time. The media length can be less than 33 cm (13 in) but at least 11 cm (4 in).

NOTE: The media rollers are lowered to just above the media with any force or pressure, other than their own weight. They are designed to hold down lighter weight media with at most a moderate amount of warping. They may have no effect on heavier, badly warped media. For best results, use the flattest available media.
