5. Feed paper from either the
bottom or front of the printer,
as shown in the following
illustrations. Gently push
paper up until it appears
between printheads and
platen.
Note:
Prefer feeding paper
stock from the bottom rather
than the front. Feeding from
the bottom is the most direct
and trouble-free path, causing
less stress on the paper's
sprocket holes during high-
speed printing. If you use
multi-part paper or label stock,
you should feed only from the
bottom.
If you feed from the front, be
sure paper flows freely into
front entrance of printer
***
.
Prevent the paper from
contacting the front of the
printer stand (or table or desk
edges, if not using the stand).
Any excessive load or friction
on in-feed paper will result in
paper-handling problems.
***
The printer is shipped with a stand that allows paper to be fed from the bottom. If you intend to feed paper from
the front, you must first remove a 16-in. foam plug from the front feed guide.
