What to do
Set the paper release lever to the
single-sheet position. For more
information on setting the paper
release lever, see Chapter 2.
Set the paper release lever to the
appropriate tractor position and press
the Load/Eject button to feed the
continuous paper to the standby
position. Then set the paper release
lever to the single-sheet position. (See
Chapter 2, "Switching to printing on
single sheets" for more information.)
Move the paper a little to the left.
See Chapter 3 for instructions on
loading single-sheet paper.
Set the paper thickness lever to match
the thickness of your paper. See
Chapter 2, "Setting the Paper Release
Lever".
See the paper specifications in
Appendix C and use new, clean sheets
of paper.
