Removing the Chad
Chad is wasted paper that is cut from the lead edge of the paper roll by the knife.
It is deposited in the chad area of the printer.
This waste is usually necessary to remove fogged paper (paper that has been
exposed to light). The waste may also be necessary to ensure a straight lead
edge on the roll of paper and accurate positioning of the lead edge in the shoe.
Chad is cut from the roll when:
• new paper is installed in the printer
• the printer is reinitialized after one of the printer doors has been opened
• the printer is reinitialized to ensure a square lead edge on the paper roll
IMPORTANT: Open the sheet transport door and remove the chad from the chad
area every time you load a new roll of paper into the printer.
Handling and Storing the Paper
Follow the instructions included with the paper for storing and handling the paper
properly.
IMPORTANT: Avoid storing paper in low humidity conditions.
Storing Paper Using the Soft Shutdown Feature
The Soft Shutdown feature (see “Shutting Down the Printer” on page 2-11) causes
the rollers to automatically reverse to rewind the lead edge of the paper to the first
metering roller during the soft shutdown process.
