Loading Cut Sheets

You can feed cut sheets from the front or the back of the printer. In both cases, the paper is ejected from the front after printing.

Set the paper feed location from the LCD screen before printing. Select > General Settings > Printer Settings > Paper Source Settings > Cut Sheet/Poster Board Slot, and select Front or Back.

You can load most photo and fine art sheet papers up to .03 inches (0.8 mm) thick.

Note: Remove any loaded paper, including roll paper, before you load cut sheet paper or poster board. Make sure there is enough space at the back of the printer.

Select the paper information area on the LCD screen.
Select Cut Sheet > OK.
Lift up the paper support lock lever to release the paper support, then set the paper support to position B (the middle position) as shown.

Note: Close the paper output flap if it is open.
Do one of the following:
- Feeding from the back of the printer: Align the left edge of the paper with the vertical line on the left side of the rear paper feed slot. Make sure the printable side of the paper is facing up.
  
  Feed the paper straight into the printer as shown.
- Feeding from the front of the printer: Align the right edge of the paper with the right side of the front paper feed slot. Make sure the printable side is facing up.
  
  When using cut sheets with a paper length of 11.69 inches (297 mm) or longer: Insert the paper straight into the printer until the trailing edge is above the loading mark on the roll paper cover (the top edge of the ruler).
  
  Note: Make sure the paper passes under the internal rollers as shown.
  
  When using cut sheets with a paper length shorter than 11.69 inches (297 mm): Insert the paper past the alignment mark, making sure that it passes under the internal rollers.
On the LCD screen, select the paper size that matches the loaded paper. If the loaded paper does not match the paper size displayed on the screen, select Paper Size to set the correct size.
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.
Select Advanced Paper Settings and set any additional settings, if necessary.
Select OK on the LCD screen.
A message appears on the LCD screen when your printer is ready to print.
Pull out the paper basket, if necessary.

Note: If you are printing on media larger than can fit in the paper basket, do not pull out the paper basket.
To remove a cut sheet from the printer, select > Paper Setting > Cut Sheet > Remove.
Support the ejected paper so that the paper does not touch the floor, then select OK.
