Attaching a Digital Paper Saver

To save paper that is lost during the paper loading process when using the “1-Step Normal” paper loading option, you may install a digital printer paper saver (leader) to the lead edge of the roll of paper. Using the digital printer paper saver reduces the amount of paper lost from threading the printer by 5.5 feet as shown in the table below.
