Automatic fanfold feeding

See “Loading fanfold paper” on page 9 for details on using fanfold paper.

Manual sheet feeding

You can use the following procedure to manually feed single sheets of paper into the printer.

Make sure that there is no fanfold paper in the printer. If there is, use the procedure under “Parking fanfold paper” on page 13 to park the fanfold paper and prepare for manual sheet feeding.

Set the release lever to the cut-sheet position.

Stand up the paper guide (page 8).

Align the left paper guide with the scale mark that matches the size of the paper you are using.

For any paper size other than A3 landscape (horizontal), align the paper guide with scale 0 (zero). For A3 landscape paper, align the paper guide with the far left mark.

Adjust the right paper guide so there is enough space to insert the paper.
