Loading Envelopes and Heavy Paper

This section explains how to load envelopes and heavy paper.

For detailed specifications on paper thickness and weight, see

Appendix B. When printing, follow these guidelines:

Do not use envelopes that are curled, folded, or bent.

Do not use envelopes that are too thin; they may curl

during printing.

Do not choose 720 dpi resolution for envelope printing.

If you are using a DOS application, you may be able to

select 720 dpi if your DOS program supports 720 dpi

printing. You can select from Bi-D, Uni-D, or Auto print

directions using the Default setting mode. The Uni-D

setting is recommended when printing at 720 dpi.

When loading heavy paper (paper that is thick or stiff), it is

recommended that you load one sheet at a time.

Adjusting the paper thickness lever

When printing on envelopes, labels, or heavy paper, you need

to adjust the paper thickness lever to compensate for the extra

paper weight.

1. Make sure the printer is turned on. Then press the Pause

button and open the cover.

2. While holding down the Alt button, press the Font button,

and then release both buttons. The carriage moves to the

lever-adjusting position and the Data light flashes. Paper

loaded in the printer is ejected when you adjust this lever.
