Printing on Single Sheets
Your printer has two paper entry slots for printing on single
sheets: top and front. When continuous paper is loaded on the
front or rear push tractor, you can load single sheets in the top
or front slot without removing the continuous paper.
This section helps you determine which paper slot best suits
your single-sheet printing needs.
Loading paper in the top slot
You can load ordinary single sheets, single-sheet multipart
forms, envelopes, or postcards in the top slot.
Note:
Load envelopes only in the top slot.
Loading paper in the front slot
You can load ordinary single sheets, single-sheet multipart
forms, or postcards in the front slot.
Note:
Always use the front paper slot to load single-sheet multipart forms
that are bound by line gluing only at the side.
Paper Release Lever Positions
You can load paper in the printer from various paper
sources, such as the front push tractor or the paper guide.
You set the paper release lever to indicate the paper source
you want to use. The table below describes each paper release
lever position.
Note:
You can load two different types of continuous paper onto the front
and rear push tractors, and easily switch between them using the
paper release lever. Before moving the paper release lever, always
press the
Load/Eject
button to feed the paper in the paper path
backward to the standby position.
