Loading Thick or Large Cut Sheets

Load most thick or large papers in the portrait orientation (short edge first). Load paper that is more than 19 mil (0.5 mm) thick and 30 inches (762 mm) long in landscape orientation (SC-P8000/SC-P9000).
Note: Make sure the paper path is clear and any roll paper is rolled up before you load cut sheet paper.
  1. Make sure the printer is turned on and the roll paper cover is closed.
  2. Press the  paper source button.
  3. Select Cut Sheet and press the OK button.
  4. Press the  load paper button.
  5. Feed the sheet into the right side of the paper slot until the trailing edge is below the horizontal line on the roll paper cover.


  6. Adjust the paper until the right and top edges are aligned with the horizontal and vertical lines on the printer.


    Note: You may need to increase the suction by pressing the up arrow button. This helps hold the paper in place during loading and printing.
  7. Press the  load paper button.
  8. Press the  pause/cancel button to move the paper into printing position or wait for the paper to move into position automatically.
  9. On the LCD screen, select one of the following:
    • If the paper settings are correct, select Keep Settings Above.
    • Select Change Settings so you can adjust the settings.
  10. Press the OK button.
  11. Print your page. After printing, the sheet stays in the printer.
  12. To remove your print, hold the sheet and press the  paper feed button.
    Note: Store cut sheet media flat in its original packaging. Storing sheet media unprotected or on its long or short edge can lead to excess paper curl and cause damage to the printer and ruined prints.
