Printing on Single Sheets

You can load single sheets of paper one at a time using the
printer's paper guide.
Before printing on single-sheet multipart forms, envelopes, or
other special paper, make sure the paper thickness lever is set to
the appropriate position. See "Printing on Special Paper" below.
Load only one sheet at a time. To load a stack of single-
sheet paper, use the optional cut-sheet feeder. See the
Reference Guide for more information.
You can use the paper guide to load single-sheet
carbonless multipart forms that are fastened at the top
by line gluing.
Insert multipart forms in the paper guide, bound edge
first and printable side down.
Follow these steps to load a single sheet:
1. If continuous paper is loaded in the push tractor, press the
button to feed it back to the standby position.

2. Push the paper release lever back to the single-sheet position
and make sure the paper guide is in the upright position, as
shown below.
3. Slide the left edge guide until it locks in place at the guide
mark. Then adjust the right edge guide to match the width
of your paper.

4. Insert a sheet of paper
between the edge
guides until it meets
resistance. The printer
automatically pulls it
into the correct
printing position.
When the printer receives data, it begins printing. If the
document is more than one page, the printer beeps three times
after printing each page. Load the next sheet and the printer will
continue printing.

Printing on Special Paper

You can print on a wide variety of special paper types, including
multipart forms, labels, and envelopes.
When printing on multipart forms, thicker-than-normal
paper, labels, or envelopes, make sure your application
software settings keep the printing entirely within the
printable area. Printing past the edge of these papers
can damage the print head.

Adjusting the paper thickness lever

Before printing on special paper, you need to make sure the
paper thickness lever is set correctly for the type of paper you're
using. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Lift up or remove the printer cover. The paper thickness
lever is on the left side of the printer.
