Solution

Single sheets do not

feed properly

(continued).

The

LOAD/EJECT

button was pressed

and the platen rotated,

but

paper

was not fed.

When the

LOAD/EJECT

button is pressed, the

paper jams.

The paper release lever may be set in the
wrong position. Push paper release lever

back to the single-sheet position. See

Chapter 2.

The left and right edge guides may be too

close together, preventing the paper from

feeding smoothly. Adjust the position of

the edge guides so that the paper can move
up and down freely. See Chapter 2.

The paper may not be firmly inserted.

When feeding thicker than normal paper,

press down lightly

on

the paper while

pressing the

LOAD/EJECT button.

The cut sheet feeder mode may be turned

on

(DIP switch 1-8 is on). When the cut

sheet feeder is not in use, DIP switch 1-8

should be off. See Chapter 3.

The edge guides may be too far apart.

Adjust the edge guides to the width of the
paper.

The dimensions of the paper may exceed

the specified limitations. Use only paper
sizes that are within the specified range.

Multi-part forms cannot be used with this

printer’s single-sheet feeding system. See

Chapter 8.
