With a sheet lengthwise and printing-side up, insert it between the
Platen
(a) and the
Paper Retainer
(b). Align the edges of the sheet as follows.
1. Align the sheet with the
Paper Alignment Line
(c) at right.
2. Align the inserted edge of the sheet with the leading edge of the
Paper Alignment
Line
(d), as shown.
When inserted, sheets are automatically held by suction against the
Platen
.
Important
•
Load a sheet so that it is parallel to the
Paper Alignment Line
(d). Loading paper
askew will cause an error.
•
Warped paper may rub against the
Printhead
. Straighten paper if it is warped
before loading it.
•
If the sides of the sheet are not perpendicular at the corners, the sheet may not be
advanced straight.
Note
•
You can adjust the strength of vacuum holding paper against the
Platen
when the
Release Lever
is open. If it is dif
fi
cult to load paper, press the
▲
or
▼
button on
the Control Panel to adjust the strength. Set vacuum stronger by pressing the
▲
button or weaker with the
▼
button. Three settings are available.
•
A sheet is held in place by vacuuming through holes on the
Platen
. Although the
vacuuming may produce a noise when paper is loaded in some positions, it does not
indicate a problem. If the noise is distracting, try moving the paper over slightly
to the left or right (up to 1 mm [0.039 in]) while keeping it parallel to the
Paper
Alignment Line
.
