Roll Paper Guidelines
When printing on roll paper, be sure to follow the media handling
guidelines on page 58, as well as these special guidelines for roll paper:
• When storing roll paper, keep it in its original packaging—including the
bag, end caps, and box.
• To avoid feeding excess paper, make sure the Sheet icon does not
appear on the LCD display. Press the l Paper Source button until the
or roll icon appears.
• Choose if you want the paper to be cut automatically after each
page is printed.
• Choose if you want to print a series of pages and keep them together
for cutting later on or use the Auto Take-up Reel (Pro 9900 only).
