How to start up
2.1.1
Loading paper
A) The right side margin guide is fixed to the far most right position.
B) Open the sheet feeder with the lever on the left side.
Load the paper and adjust the left side paper guide until it touch the paper and lock it properly.
Maximum paper width that can be handled by the sheet feeder is 297 mm. If a narrow paper is used,
only the left margin guided should be adjusted accordingly and properly locked in that position.
NOTE! Never change the position of the right side margin guide on the 4X4 PRO!
C) When loading the sheet feeder, make sure it is not overfilled. For the best possible function it is
necessary to leave 1-2 mm free space between the pick-up rollers and the paper stack before closing
the sheet feeder.
D) Set the two paper supports at the margins of the paper.
E) Select card or sheet mode on the sheet feeder. Card mode is normally for paper of 120-200 gsm.,
and sheet mode for paper below this weight. Make sure that the card/sheet selectors is set to the same
position on both side of the paper.

Paper settings
2.2.1
Page length setting
On delivery the default paper length is 420 mm.
To change the default paper length, double-click the FORM FEED key. The printer will echo the
measured value of the paper length in mm. Smaller adjustments of the paper length value can be done
from setup.
If you use a paper type differentfrom the paper that was delivered with the printer, the printer may need
to calibrate the paper sensor in order to accept the new type of paper.
For instructions, see 6.4.7 - Paper sensor calibration.
2.2.2.
Pre-folding line position
Turn the printer ON. Press the "1" or "10" key once and then
the SETUP key
. A paper will be fed into the
printer, where a pre-folding line are printed. Check the position of the line by folding the paper and
make sure that the edges matches each other.
If the pre-folding line is not at the correct position, e.g. the first printed page is wider then the second,
then the value is to high. Decrease the value by using the 1 and 10 keys in the copy features. The upper
key “1” increases 1 (+1) and the lower key “10” decreases 1 (-1) for each keystroke. When you
reached the matching value, press SETUP to store it in the printer memory. (If the first printed page is
more narrow then the second, then the value is to low and must be increased.) When you press the 1
and 10 keys now, the spoken value will be in number of motor steps. Decrease it e.g. 5 steps and then
press the Setup key to make a new test printout. Check the position of the line by folding the paper and
make sure that the edges matches each other.
When the pre-folding line is correct, the printer is ready for use.
