Using Cut Sheet Paper
You can print on many types of cut sheet paper and other media. The
printer accepts sheets in widths from letter size/A4 to 24 inches (61 cm) for
the Pro 7700 or 44 inches (112 cm) for the Pro 9700.
You can leave your roll paper in the printer when you print on cut sheets;
make sure it is removed from the paper path and rolled up.
How you load the paper depends on its thickness:
•
For most paper, see the section below.
•
For stock thicker than 19 mil (0.5 mm), see page 75.
Loading Cut Sheets
Make sure you load paper in the portrait orientation (short edge first).
You can load paper without pressing the Paper release button. This
prevents scratching and is fast and easy.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the roll paper cover is closed.
2. Press the
l
Paper Source button until the Sheet icon appears on the
LCD display.
Note: For heavy paper,
you may need to increase
the suction by pressing
the
u button. This helps
hold the paper in place
during loading and
printing.
For lightweight paper,
decrease the suction by
pressing the
d button.
