standard tables, the extension table tops are designed to pivot into the storage position under their own
weight.
CAUTION: The standard and accessory extension tables are intended for use only when attached to the
printer as described in these instructions. When not in use, the tables should be stored with the table tops
folded in the storage position. Use caution when operating the table tops and moving the tables, to avoid
personal injury or damage to property.
NOTE: If the accessory tables were properly leveled when they were installed, they should not have to be
leveled again. If sheet-fed media feed problems occur, make sure the accessory tables are securely latched
to the standard tables, and verify that the tables are level. Check for level over the fixed support assembly
first, then over the folding support, and adjust the table wheels up or down as necessary.
Load rigid media
NOTE: See Table A-2 Media sizes on page 104 for a list of supported media sizes.
1. If the rigid media tables are not already installed, position the input and output tables at each end of the
media drive belt, and engage the attachment latches to the printer. Make sure that the pivoting table
tops are securely latched in the operating position.
NOTE: If you have the optional roll-fed media accessory installed, remove the foam press rollers. The
foam press rollers are not used with rigid media.
2. At the end of the Configure Media process (see Configure media on page 11), press Yes on the control
panel; or press Home > Load Media.
Before you can load, you must configure the media as explained in Configure media on page 11.
3. Select one of the following media rollers options, then press Proceed:
●
Flat Media — If the rollers were set to “Yes” in the media configuration (see Configure media
on page 11), the rollers will move up or down as needed to be just above the surface of the media.
If the rollers were set to “No”, the rollers will remain at their highest point and will not be used. In
either case, the full imageable length of the sheet is available for printing.
●
Warped Media, Hold Down — When a sheet is loaded, the leading edge is advanced so that it is
underneath the output roller. Printing is allowed only until the trailing edge of the sheet has
reached the input roller. The imageable area of the sheet is reduced by 65.4 cm (25.8 in) from both
the leading and trailing edges.
●
Short Media — Enables printing on sheets that are not long enough to reach the output roller and
thickness sensor at the same time. The media length must be at least 22 cm (8.5 in).
NOTE: The media rollers are lowered to just above the media with any force or pressure, other than
their own weight. They are designed to hold down lighter weight media with at most a moderate
amount of warping. They may have no effect on heavier, badly warped media. For best results, use the
flattest available media.
4. Select the approximate thickness or enter the exact thickness of the media you are loading, then press
Proceed.
5. Load the sheet of media onto the input table, sliding it forward against the media alignment bar (under
the printhead carriage rail), then left along the media alignment bar until the media touches the
leftmost alignment pin.
