Loading Sheets in the Printer Load sheets in the printer as follows. • For details on supported types and sizes of paper, see "Paper Sizes" or the Paper Reference Guide. (→"Paper Sizes," User Manual), (→"Types of Paper," User Manual) • If the Platen is dirty, clean inside the Top Cover before loading paper. (→ , If Paper is Soiled) • After pressing the Load/Eject button, you can refer to instructions on the Display Screen as you load the paper. (→"Checking Instructions During Printer Operations," User Manual) 1 If you send a print job from a computer beforehand, the type and size of paper are shown on the Display Screen. Lift the Release Lever and open the Top Cover. 2 With a sheet lengthwise and printing-side up, insert it between the Platen (a) and the Paper Retainer (b). Align the edges of the sheet as follows. 1. Align the sheet with the Paper Alignment Line (c) at right. 2. Align the inserted edge of the sheet with the leading edge of the Paper Alignment Line (d), as shown. When inserted, sheets are automatically held by suction against the Platen. db a c • Load a sheet so that it is parallel to the Paper Alignment Line at right (c). Loading paper askew will cause an error. • Warped paper may rub against the Printhead. Straighten paper if it is warped before loading it. • You can adjust the strength of vacuum holding paper against the Platen when the Release Lever is up. If it is difficult to load paper, press the ▲ or ▼ button on the Control Panel to adjust the strength. Set vacuum stronger by pressing the ▲ button or weaker with the ▼ button. Three settings are available. However, even if you increase the vacuum, it may not be sufficient to hold some types of paper against the Platen well. In this case, use your hand to load the paper. • Sheets are held in place by suction through holes on the Platen. Although the suction may produce a noise when paper is loaded in some positions, it does not indicate a problem. If the noise is distracting, try moving the paper over slightly to the left or right (up to 1 mm [0.039 in]) while keeping it parallel to the Paper Alignment Line. • The suction remains on for about 30 seconds during loading. If you cannot finish loading a sheet during this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the suction again. 22
