Handling sheets
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 difcult 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.
4.
Lower the Release Lever toward the front and close the Top Cover.
The printer now starts feeding the paper. After the paper is advanced, the printer automatically
goes online and starts printing.
If no print job has been received from the computer beforehand, the printer automatically shows
a menu for selection of the paper type on the Display Screen. In this case, select the type
of paper. (→P.134)
