Cassette Feed
The printer can feed paper from the multi-purpose tray, the upper or
the optional lower paper cassette. You can select the multi-purpose
tray as a paper cassette with the FEEDER switch. Since the auto
paper feed mode has been factory set, the printer usually feeds paper
from the upper paper cassette. When the optional lower paper
cassette is installed and the upper paper cassette runs out of paper,
the printer automatically switches to the lower paper cassette. When
the lower paper cassette runs out of paper or it is not installed, the
printer automatically switches to the multi-purpose tray
(T1>T2>MP) and feeds from there as long as they contain paper of
the same size. When necessary, select the feeder with the FEEDER
switch. For further information, see "FEEDER Switch" in Chapter 4.
For information about the lower paper cassette, see "LOWER TRAY
UNIT" in Chapter 5.
Notes
When you load paper into the multi-purpose tray or the paper cassette,
note the following:
If you use the multi-purpose tray, the paper size has to be manually
set in the MP TRAY SETTING mode with the FEEDER switch.
If your application software supports paper size selection on the print
menu, you can select it through the software. If your application
software does not support it, you can set the paper size with the
MODE switch.
The paper size has been factory set to letter for 110/120V models or
A4 for 220/240V models. If you want to use other sizes of paper or
envelopes, change the paper size in the PAGE FORMAT MODE of
the FORMAT MODE with the MODE switch. For paper size
selection, see "MODE Switch" in Chapter 4.
If you use pre-printed paper in the cassettes, please note that the
paper should be loaded with the printed side face down and the top
of the paper to the front of the cassette. If you use pre-printed paper
in the multi-purpose tray, the paper should be loaded with the printed
side face up and the top of the paper towards the printer.
You can set the paper size for the paper cassette with the MODE switch
in the PAGE FORMAT mode. The printer automatically detects the
paper size you set in the paper cassette. If you load a different size of
paper in the paper cassette from the size selected with the MODE switch
or through your application software, the printer prompts you to set the
proper size of paper as follows:
LOAD PAPER
****
(
switch in the PAGE FORMAT mode or through your application
software.)
