Adjusting the paper thickness lever
When printing on envelopes or heavy paper, you need to
adjust the paper thickness lever to compensate for the extra
paper weight.
1. Make sure the printer is turned on. Then press the
Pause
button and open the cover.
2. While holding down the
Alt
button, press the
Font
button,
and then release both buttons. The carriage moves to the
lever-adjusting position and the
Data
light flashes. Paper
loaded in the printer is ejected when you adjust this lever.
3. Rotate the paper thickness lever clockwise as far as it will
go.
4. Press the
Alt
button. Then press
Pause
.
5. Close the printer cover.
Loading the paper tray
After adjusting the paper thickness lever, follow these steps
to load the paper tray:
1. Remove the output tray and remove any paper from the
paper tray.
2. If you are printing on envelopes, pull back the paper tray
extension. Then remove the rear edge guide, turn it
around, and reinstall it as shown.
3. Insert the paper or envelopes into the paper tray. It is best
to load sheets of heavy paper one at a time. If you’re
loading envelopes, insert them as shown. You can load up
to 10 envelopes.
4. Adjust the rear and left edge guides as shown above so the
media feeds straight into the paper path.
5. Change the printer driver settings so they are appropriate
for the media you loaded.
After you are finished printing on heavy paper or envelopes,
rotate the paper thickness lever by turning it
counterclockwise to its original position. Also return the rear
edge guide to its paper position, if necessary.
Clearing and Preventing Paper Jams
If paper has jammed inside the printer, clear the jam as
follows:
1. Turn off the printer.
2. Open the printer cover.
3. Push in the knob on the right side of the printer and turn it
counterclockwise as shown below.
Be sure to turn the knob in the direction shown; otherwise
ink from the printed sheet can come off on the printer and
smear other sheets.
