Chapter 2 Choosing and Loading Paper The EX printer can accommodate many different sizes and types of paper, using either its automatic singlesheet loading feature or its builtin adjustable tractor. The tractor is easy to use and can handle a wide range of paper widths. The automatic singlesheet loading feature handles individual sheets quickly and easily, and for greater efficiency you can add an optional automatic sheet feeder. Choosing Paper Without installing any accessories, you can use single-sheet paper from 7¼ to 8½ inches wide and continuous paper from 4 to 10 inches wide (including the perforated edge strips). You can also add an optional roll paper holder, which uses paper 8½ inches wide. You load roll paper the same way you load single sheets, except that you do not use the paper guide. Carbon copies If you use multi-part forms or carbon copies in the EX, use no more than three sheets or parts at a time, with a total thickness of no more than 0.16 mm. Also change the paper thickness setting as described at the end of this chapter. Loading Single Sheets You have already loaded singlesheet paper using the automatic sheet loading feature in Step 7 of the setup chapter This feature gives you short printing times by combining fast loading with fast printing. If you print large amounts on single sheets of paper, however, you may find it more convenient to use an automatic sheet feeder. This is an optional device that holds a stack of paper and inserts a new sheet Choosing and Loading Paper 2-1
