8. Close the sprocket covers.

9. Adjust the two sprockets until the paper is straight and

smooth, and then lock the sprockets into place.

Caution:
Be sure the sprockets are not too far apart. Your paper
could jam if they pull the paper too tightly or tear the
edges of the paper holes. To remove any excess tension in
your paper, release the right sprocket and lock it again.

if necessary.

11. Close the top cover. Press the

LF/FF Load

the paper out the back of the printer. Make sure the edge
of the first sheet emerges below the paper separator.
