Loading Poster Board

You can feed poster board from the front or the back of the printer. In both cases, the poster board 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.

Load poster board in portrait orientation (short edge first), otherwise print quality may decline. You can load poster board up to .06 inches (1.5 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 Poster Board > 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 poster board with the vertical line on the left side of the rear paper feed slot. Make sure the printable side is facing up.
  
  Feed the poster board straight into the printer as shown.
- Feeding from the front of the printer: Align the right edge of the poster board with the right side of the front paper feed slot. Make sure the printable side is facing up.
  
  Insert the poster board 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 poster board passes under the internal rollers as shown.
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.
When loading poster board that is 23.6 inches (600 mm) or longer, pull out the paper basket.

The basket can be used as a support to prevent the poster board from bending during printing.
To remove a poster board from the printer, select > Paper Setting > Poster Board > Remove.
Support the ejected poster board with both hands so that it does not touch the floor, then select OK.
