Paper Handling Options

The Multi-Media Feeder

The optional multi-media feeder handles automatic feeding of many
types of paper. It holds up to 150 

sheets 

of paper, and it can feed

paper from 98 to 216 mm (3.86 to 8.50 inches) wide and from 148 to
356 mm (5.83 to 14.0 inches) long. You can load two different sizes of
paper in your printer at once (one size in 

the 

multi-media feeder and

the 

other in your standard paper cassette). You can also set SelecType

Level 1 INPUT to AUTO and use both the multi-media feeder and
the standard paper cassette for continuous printing of up to 250
sheets of the same size paper.

Installing the multi-media feeder

1. Remove the manual feed paper guide.

2. Attach the multi-media feeder as shown below. Then, mount the

multi-media feeder safely on the printer.

Status and Error Messages

If an error occurs, your best source of information is the display 

on

the control panel. The messages displayed there tell 

you what may be

wrong 

and, in some cases, indicate the actions you should take to

correct the problem. Status messages appear on the display during
normal operation. They indicate 

the 

printer’s current status.

This section contains 

an 

alphabetical list of status and error messages

you may encounter while printing and includes steps you can take to
correct 

any 

problems.

Note: 

In 

some 

cases, the 

red 

CONTINUE light flashes when an 

error is

detected. This requires you to correct 

the 

problem and then press

CONTINUE 

to clear the error. However, if the AUTO CONT option in

SelecType is set to on, some errors may clear automatically even

though the 

problem remains. In most instances, you should leave

AUTO CONT set to off.

are preceded by [E] and warning messages are preceded by [W]. In
some cases the message you see on your display also shows the
