Paper Handling

Setting the Paper Basket

When feeding paper backward (up to B1 size; landscape)
When feeding paper backward (up to super B0 size)
When feeding paper forward (Roll Paper Banner; thick [0.7 mm and more] cut sheet)

To avoid your printouts getting dirty or crinkled, set the paper basket as explained below. You can use the paper basket for both roll paper and cut sheet media.

Note:
When you print on thick paper, set the paper basket forward to avoid your printouts becoming damaged. See "When feeding paper forward" following.

When feeding paper backward (up to B1 size; landscape)

Caution:
Always load B1 (728 x 1030 mm) size thick paper (0.7 to 1.6 mm) long edge first and feed the paper forward. Otherwise, damage to your printouts may occur.

Note:
  • When you feed paper backward, remove the flange from the drive unit and fully slide the movable unit to the left side of the printer. Otherwise, the printed paper may conflict with the Auto Take-up Reel unit and paper feed error may occur.
  • For Stylus Pro 9600 users;
    When setting the paper basket, make sure that the paper basket is not touching the paper guides underneath the printer.

Slide the lower hooks back and pull the upper hooks out to their full length.

Hook the basket rings (A) on the upper basket hooks to take up the slack of the paper basket.

When feeding paper backward (up to super B0 size)

Note:
When feeding roll paper larger than B0 size backward, make sure that your printer has at least 20 cm (7.87 inches) of space to its rear. This prevents the printed paper edges from folding.

Make the paper basket setting as shown in When feeding paper backward (up to B1 size; landscape).

Unhook the basket rings from the upper hooks, and slacken the paper basket.

Pull the lower basket hooks out to their full length.

When feeding paper forward (Roll Paper Banner; thick [0.7 mm and more] cut sheet)

Unhook the basket rings from the upper basket hooks.

Slide the upper hooks back to their full length. Then fully pull out the lower paper basket hooks as shown, so that they rest on the floor.

Note:
Make sure that the paper basket surface is at full tension. If not, the fed paper will not slide down to the floor.

Hook the rear side basket rings of the paper basket on the upper basket hooks, and tighten the paper basket.
