4. Slide the left sprocket to the left margin of your paper using
the arrow mark inside the printer. (Printing starts at the
arrow mark.) Then pull the lever forward to lock it in place.
See “Paper Alignment” on page 4 and “Printable Area”
on page 5 for more information on the left margin
position.
5. Slide the right sprocket to match the width of your paper,
but do not lock it. Move the paper support midway between
the two sprockets.
6. Open both sprocket covers. Make sure your paper has a
clean, straight edge and fit the first three holes of the
paper—printable side up—over the tractor pins.
7. Slide the right sprocket to remove any slack in the paper,
then lock it in place by pushing the sprocket lock down.
8. Attach the front paper guide by sliding it along the
mounting slots. Then close the front paper guide.
9. Slide the edge guides to the middle of the top paper guide
base. Lift the center section of the paper guide base up and
lay it flat. Make sure that the printer cover and the paper
guide cover are closed.
Always close the printer cover before printing. The
printer does not print when the cover is open.
10. Turn on the printer. You may need to check andchange the
printer driver settings. When the printer receives data, it
automatically loads the paper and starts printing. The
printed pages are fed over the paper guide toward the back
of the printer.
After you finish printing, follow the steps in the next section to
tear off your printed document. If the first line on your page
appears too high or low, you can fix this using the micro adjust
feature. See “Adjusting the Top-of-Form Position” on page 21.
Never use the knob to adjust the top-of-form position
while the printer is turned on; this may damage the
printer or cause it to lose the top-of-form position. The
knob can be used when the printer is turned off only.
