Chapter 4 Printing Documents 4 r e tpahC Overview ............................................................................... 4-2 Using the Paper Tray ............................................................ 4-2 Paper Sizes Supported .......................................................... 4-2 Adjusting and Loading the Paper Tray ............................... 4-6 Using Manual Feed ............................................................... 4-7 When to Use Manual feed ......................
Printing Documents Overview In this chapter, you will learn how to select the correct paper path according to your needs and the paper sizes you will use. Using the Paper Tray Paper Sizes Supported Since the paper tray is adjustable, it can hold up to 250 sheets of Executive, Letter, A4, B5, Folio or Legal sized paper. To achieve the best print quality and to avoid paper jam or damage to your printer, use only quality, xerographic/ photocopier grade paper.
Using the Paper Tray Using the Side Guide You can use both the tab hole and paper size marker to adjust the side guide. While pressing the side guide tab, push the side guide forward towards the center of the tray until the tab hole of the selected paper size is positioned to the corresponding size. However, when using B5 size paper, simply position the paper size marker to the B5 size. Figure 4.
Using the Paper Tray Using the Rear Guide For the rear guide, there are four positions: three positions in the center of the rear, and one position on the side of the rear. If you are using A4 size paper, place the rear guide in the side position. Otherwise, place the rear guide in one of the three positions in the center at the rear. Figure 4.
Using the Paper Tray Using the Extension Guide Unless you are using legal or folio sized paper, you do not have to adjust the extension guide at all. If you need to use legal or folio sized paper, perform the following adjustment. While pressing the two tabs at the rear center of the paper tray, pull the extension guide to the rear until the two buttons are positioned into either the first position holes for folio or into the final position holes for legal. Figure 4.
Printing Documents Adjusting and Loading the Paper Tray 1 Pull out the paper tray and remove the paper. 2 Using the rear guide or extension guide, adjust the tray for each paper size. • Extension guide: Legal, Folio • Rear guide: Letter, Exec, B5, A4 When letterhead is used, load the paper face down, with the top edge towards the front of the paper tray. 3 Secure the corner of the paper stack under the metal corner at the front of the paper tray. 4 Adjust the side guide to the corresponding size.
Printing Documents Using Manual Feed When to Use Manual feed Use the printer’s manual feed option with the rear paper path cover open when printing on media that must go through a straight paper path. Following are examples of media that require the manual feed: • Envelopes • Adhesive Labels • Heavy or special paper, such as a single sheet of letterhead paper • Odd sized paper • Transparencies The rear cover must be open to enable the straight through paper path.
Using Manual Feed 2 To prevent a paper jam, select the correct paper size in your software. For example, do NOT select letter size paper in your software and then try to feed legal paper into the manual feed slot. 3 If you are printing envelopes, insert the envelope, flap down, to the left side of the manual feed slot. Through your software, send the command to print. The printer’s MANUAL LED blinks, indicating the printer is ready to receive paper through the manual feed slot.
Using Manual Feed Setting Up the Printer 1 If you want to use the faceup paper path, push down the exit cover latch. 2 While aligning the paper to the left, gently insert the paper face up into the manual feed slot until you feel resistance on the left corner. 3 Leave the other end of the paper resting on the table. Manual feeding of materials such as C5 envelopes will require you to physically support the trailing edge of the document to prevent bending/folding of the envelope.
Using Manual Feed Using Priority Feed (Quick Manual Feed) The printer’s Priority Feed feature is a quick way to manually feed paper. If there is a sheet of paper in the manual feed slot, the printer always prints on that sheet first, then pulls the remaining pages from the paper cassette. No special software commands are required. This feature is especially helpful when the first page of your job is different from the rest. Example: Printing multiple page letters where first page is letterhead paper.
