Handling sheets for paper feed slots
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 .
Important
• Load a sheet so that it is parallel to the Paper Alignment Line at right (c). Loading paper askew will
cause an error .
• W arped paper may rub against the Printhead . Straighten paper if it is warped before loading it.
Note
• Y ou can adjust the strength of suction holding paper against the Platen when the Release Lever is up.
If it is dif cult to load paper , press the ▲ or ▼ button on the Control Panel to adjust the strength. Set
suction stronger by pressing the ▲ button or weaker with the ▼ button. Three settings are available.
However , even if you increase the suction, it may not be suf cient 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 nish loading a sheet
during this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the suction again.
