Multi-Purpose Sheet Feeder

The multi-purpose sheet feeder can feed plain paper, inkjet paper, glossy paper, transparencies and
envelopes. When the machine receives data from your computer, it begins the print process by
loading paper from the multi-purpose sheet feeder.
1
Select the print command from your PC.
2
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The screen displays RECEIVING
DATA.
3
If there are more pages, the machine begins to print the next page automatically.
4
When the machine finishes printing all data, it returns to display the date and time.
You can select paper source, paper size, and orientation in your application
software. If your application software does not support your custom paper size,
select the next larger paper size. Then adjust the print area by changing the right
and left margins in your application software.

Simultaneous Printing/Faxing

The machine can print data from your computer while sending a fax in the memory or while scanning
information into the computer. However, when the machine is copying or receiving a fax on paper,
it pauses the PC printing operation, and resumes when copying or fax receiving is complete. Fax
sending continues during PC printing.
