Using Single Sheets
This section describes how to load paper in the Single Sheet Paper Tray. The Single
Sheet Paper Tray allows paper to be loaded manually, one sheet at a time.
Loading a Single Sheet of Paper
To load a sheet of paper using the Single sheet Paper Tray:
1 Make sure that the printer is turned on. Check that tractor-fed continuous forms are
retracted to the park position. (For details, see the section, “Unloading Continuous
Forms,” later in this chapter.)
2 If necessary, reset the Print Gap lever. (See the section, “Adjusting for Paper Thick-
ness,” earlier in this chapter.)
3 Move the Paper Select lever toward front of printer. (This lever is at the right under
the cover.)
4 Raise the Single Sheet Paper Tray until it locks in Paper Support Position 2.
5 Line up the right sliding edge guide with the notch on the Paper Support. Adjust the
left sliding edge guide to the width of the paper. Insert the sheet into the raised Paper
Support. Make sure that the bottom edge of the paper engages snugly with the platen.
The paper will automatically advance to the top-of-form position if the Single Sheet
Load option of the Set-Up mode is set to Automatic.
6 Place the printer in the Ready state. Print a sample page and check the page margins.
Make the following adjustments, as necessary:
• Horizontal alignment. Readjust the paper guides if required.
NOTE: The factory setting for the Single Sheet Load option is automatic loading after
paper detection. If you set this option to manual, you will have to press FF/
LOAD to feed the paper.
