Specifications

❏ The printer has a minimum and maximum loading
position. If you try to move the loading position beyond
these limits, the printer beeps and the paper stops
moving.
❏ When the paper reaches the factory-set loading position,
the printer beeps. Use the factory setting as a reference
point when adjusting the loading position.
❏ The pointer on the print head indicates the base line of
printed characters. (You may have to experiment a few
times to get the results you want.)
❏ When you adjust the loading position for single-sheet
paper, the printer remembers the new position only until
you turn off the power. The loading position returns to
the factory setting when the power is turned on again.
Loading Paper Manually
You can load single sheets of paper or envelopes from the
manual feed slot without removing the paper supply from
the paper feeder.
Printing on single sheets
Follow these steps to load a single sheet in the manual feed
slot:
1. Turn on the printer. Lower both sides of the paper eject
guide.
2. Insert a single sheet of paper into the slot until it meets
resistance, aligning the right edge of the paper with the
arrow mark on the printer.
When you insert paper 420 mm (16.5 inches) wide, align the
right edge of the paper with the right end. The printer
automatically loads the sheet.
Note:
If the sheet does not load straight, press the
LOAD/EJECT
button
to eject it. Then try loading it again.
3. Send data from the computer to the printer to start
printing.
When the printer finishes printing, it ejects the sheet
automatically. If the sheet does not come all the way out,
press the LOAD/EJECT button.
Press the LOAD/EJECT button or send data to the printer
without inserting a sheet in the manual slot to switch back
to the paper feeder. The page eject guides rise
automatically. The printer then loads a sheet of paper
from the paper feeder.
Note:
If the ink does not dry fast enough, try removing sheets one at a
time as they finish printing.
Printing on envelopes
You can also use the manual feed slot to print on individual
envelopes.
1. Turn on the printer and open the printer cover.
2. Turn the paper-thickness lever clockwise as far as it will go.
3. Close the printer cover.
4. Lower both sides of the paper eject guide.
5. Insert an envelope into the manual feed slot with the wide
end entering the printer first, printable side face up, until
it meets resistance. The printer loads the envelope to the
print position automatically.
6. Send data from your computer. The printer ejects the
envelope automatically when it is finished printing.
Note:
❏ Make sure your software keeps the printing entirely within the
printable area of the envelope.
❏ Use envelopes only under normal operating conditions.
❏ If the ink is not drying fast enough, try removing envelopes one
at a time as they finish printing.
