Chapter 3
Loading Paper
This chapter descibes how to load paper, envelopes, thick paper, and
transparencies in the printer. To ensure the best performance of your
printer, you want to select the best paper and load it correctly.
The wide-carriage capabilities of your printer allow you to load letter-
size paper in either portrait or landscape orientation and legal-or ledger-
size paper in portrait orientation.
You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you
can manually feed one sheet at a time. The path that the paper travels
through the printer is the same for automatic and manual feeding.
Automatically Feeding Paper
Your printer produces letter-quality print on most plain bond papers,
including cotton bond papers and photocopying papers,. This printer
does not require special ink-jet papers.
CAUTION: Make sure the width of the paper on which you are
printing matches the width defined by your software so there is always
paper between the print head and the platen. The print head may be
damaged if it prints directly on the platen.
