*1 For carbon-interleaved paper, the carbon counts as one copy.
*2 Vary the position upward or downward (including A to D) to optimize printing. Select D when replacing a
ribbon or clearing a paper jam. For labels and envelopes, use the trial-and-error approach to determine a
satisfactory position.
Caution: If printing is messy, the ribbon misfeeds, or the paper jams, move the lever one
position higher.
Using Single Sheets
This section describes how to load paper in the cut sheet stand. The cut sheet stand allows
paper to be loaded manually, one sheet at a time.
Loading a Single Sheet of Paper
To load a sheet of paper into the cut sheet stand:
1. Make sure that the printer is turned on. Check that rear-fed continuous forms are
retracted to the park position. (For details, see the section “Unloading Continuous
Forms” later in this chapter.)
2. If necessary, reset the paper thickness lever. (See the section “Adjusting for Paper
Thickness” earlier in this chapter.)
3. Move the paper select lever forward. (This lever is at the top left part of the printer.)
4. Raise the cut sheet stand. Position the left paper guide in accordance with the Note
below. Note that the movable range of the paper guide is limited.
