Printing on Single Sheets
You can load single sheets up to
420
mm
(16.5
inches) wide
using the built-in paper feeder or the manual insertion slot.
Tips on using the paper feeder
For the steps on using the paper feeder, see “Loading paper in
the paper feeder” in Chapter
1.
Following the tips below will
give you the best performance when loading paper with the
paper feeder.
Ll
Load paper into the paper feeder before you turn on the
printer or send data. When the printer receives data from
the computer, it loads a single sheet and begins to print.
Cl
If the printer runs out of paper during a print job, reload
the paper feeder and then press the
LOAD/EJECT
button to
continue printing.
tl
Press the
LOAD/EJECT
button if you need to eject a sheet
of loaded paper.
Cl
You can switch to either manual loading or to the optional
push tractor without removing the paper supply from the
paper feeder. For details, see “Loading paper manually” or
“Switching to continuous paper” later in this chapter.
U
If the ink does not dry fast enough, try removing sheets
one at a time as they finish printing.
Q
The default page length for paper loaded from the paper
feeder is
61
lines (letter-size paper) or
65
lines
(A4-size
paper). You can change it using your software or printer
commands, if necessary. See the Appendix for more about
printer commands.
