Printing from Your PC

Multi-purpose Paper Cassette

The machine's multi-purpose paper cassette can be adjusted to feed many sizes
of paper: letter, legal, A4, B5 and A5 plain paper. When the machine receives
print data from your computer, it loads paper from the paper cassette.
I
Select the print command from your PC.
Your PC sends a print command and data to the machine. The machine displays
the date and time and
machine begins to print the next page automatically. When printing is finished,
it returns to online status.
You may select the proper paper source, paper size, and page 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. (See
Use the manual feed slot for labels, transparencies, card stock, thicker paper or
envelopes.

Two-Sided Printing (Manual Duplexing)

The supplied printer drivers for Windows
Workstation Version 4.0 enable manual duplex printing. (For more
information, see the Help screen for the printer driver.)
Please select LPT1 on the printer
driver. The machine prints all the
even-numbered pages on one
side of the paper first. Then, the
®
Windows driver instructs you
(with a pop-up message) to
reinsert the paper. Before
reinserting the paper, straighten
it well, or you may get a paper
jam. Very thin or very thick
paper is not recommended.
Caution
When you use manual duplexing, it is possible that a paper jam may occur or the
print quality might not be satisfactory. (See
