Tips for Using the Paper Feeder

Following the tips below will give you the best performance
when printing with the paper feeder.
Load paper into the paper feeder before you turn on the
printer and send data. When the printer receives data
from the computer, it loads a single sheet automatically
and begins to print.
If the printer runs out of paper during a print job, reload
the paper feeder and then press the LOAD/EJECT button
to continue printing.
Press the LOAD/EJECT button if you need to eject a sheet
of loaded paper.
You can switch to manual loading or to the optional push
tractor without removing the paper supply from the
paper feeder.
You can adjust the loading and print positions with the
printer's micro feed feature.
Because most software programs take care of the top and
bottom margins, you should usually adjust the margins
by using your programs, taking the printer's default
loading position into account.
The default page length for paper loaded from the paper
feeder is 61 lines (letter-size paper) and 65 lines (A4-size
paper). You can change it using your software program or
printer commands, if necessary.
If the ink does not dry fast enough, try removing sheets
one at a time as they finish printing.

Adjusting the Loading Position

The loading position is the position of the paper when the
printer loads it. If printing is too high or low on the page,
change the loading position with the micro-feed feature.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on.
2. Load a sheet of paper from the paper feeder by pressing the
LOAD/EJECT button.
3. Open the printer cover and the paper feeder cover.
4. As soon as the paper is loaded, hold down the ALT button
and press the ECONOMY/CONDENSED button to move
the loading position up 1 /180 inch, or press the FONT
button to move the loading position down 1/180 inch.
Continue pressing the appropriate button until you reach
the position you want.
5. Close the printer cover and the paper feeder cover.
6. Send data from the computer to start printing.
