Printing on Paper and Other Media

Using Banner Paper

1

Make sure that the printer is turned on and the paper thickness lever is set 
to the Down position. Lower the paper rest.

 Turning On the Printer

 Setting the Paper Thickness Lever

2

Before you tear off the sheets, make sure that you take one more sheet 
than you need for printing. (When you wish to print three sheets, tear off a 
length of four sheets—one more than you need for printing.)

You can print on up to six sheets. If you want to print a banner of maximum 
length (six sheets), tear off a length of seven sheets—one more than you 
need for printing.
