Loading Paper
If the selected paper runs out, or the selected paper drawer runs out of paper during printing, a screen prompting you to
load paper appears on the touch panel display.
Follow the procedure below to load paper into the paper drawers.
A screen prompting you to load paper also appears if the selected paper drawer is not fully inserted into the machine.
Make sure that the paper drawer is properly in place.
Do not load the following types of paper into the paper drawers. Doing so may cause a paper jam.
Severely curled or wrinkled paper
Thin straw paper
Transparencies (Only for Paper Drawer 1)
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side of this paper either.)
Fan the stack of paper well before loading it. Paper such as thin paper, recycled paper, pre-punched paper, heavy paper,
and transparencies should be fanned particularly well before loading it.
Never place paper or any other items in the empty part of the drawer next to the paper stack. Doing so may cause a
paper jam.
If a message prompting you to load paper appears during printing, the remaining prints are automatically made after you
load the correct paper. If you select another paper drawer, the remaining prints are made after you press [OK].
To cancel printing, press [Stop].
Open the paper drawer.
