Printing handouts

You can conserve paper by printing handouts, or multiple page images, on a single sheet of paper. 
Load up to 100 sheets of paper at a time, depending on the thickness of the paper.

Step 1: Load the paper

•

Load the paper vertically against the right side of the paper support.  

•

Make sure the print side is facing you.

•

Do not force the paper into the printer.

•

Squeeze and slide the paper guide to the left side of the paper.

Note: If you are using letter size paper, adjusting the paper guide may not be necessary.

Note: For the best print quality, use a heavier weight paper.
