Chapter 1 Safeguards and Installing the Page Printer
The Multi-Purpose Tray
The multi-purpose tray is incorporated on the right side of the printer. It can be used in one of two modes: first mode or cassette mode. The multi-purpose tray can hold about 100 sheets of paper (0.1 mm thickness).
First Mode (Automatic Manual Feeding)
The printer automatically feeds any paper placed on the multi-purpose tray even if another paper source is selected. After all paper in the multi-purpose tray is printed, paper will be fed from the paper source originally set. (This is the factory set default.)
Cassette Mode
Approximately 100 sheets of paper can be continuously fed.
For details on paper which can be used with this printer, please refer to Appendix B.
If first mode is set with the multi-purpose tray as the current cassette, printing is carried out using custom size paper feed timing regardless of the size setting for the multi-purpose tray.
Duplex printing from the Multi-Purpose Tray
In first mode, be sure to set the MP tray to the same paper size, paper type and feed direction as set for the current cassette. If the paper size, type or feed direction differs, a paper jam may result. Also note that it is not possible to select the multi-purpose tray as the current cassette and perform duplex printing. We therefore recommend that duplex printing be performed from the paper cassette. An optional duplex unit is required to perform duplex printing.
