• 80 g/m² standard paper is recommended for this printer.

• It is not recommended to use special paper extensively, which may affect the service life of the printer.

• The print media that does not meet the guidelines listed in this User Guide may result in poor print quality, increased paper jam and excessive wear of the printer.

• Properties such as weight, composition, texture and humidity are important factors affecting the printer performance and output quality.

Please note the following matters when selecting the print media:

1. Desired print effect: The print media selected should meet the requirement of the print tasks.

2. Surface smoothness: The smoothness of the print media may affect the sharpness of the print outcome.

3. Some print media may meet all the use guidelines contained herein,but they still can not bring satisfactory effect. This may be due to incorrect operation, inappropriate temperature and humidity, or other factors beyond the control of Pantum. Before purchasing large quantities of print media, make sure that the print media meets the specifications specified in this User Guide.

2.4. Loading Paper

note.eps

Note:

• Printer appearance may differ because of various models and functions, so the schematic diagram is only for your reference.

2.4.1. Loading into the Automatic Feeder Tray

1. Slide out the automatic feeder tray from the printer.

2. Slide the clip of extended tray of auto feed tray, paper length deflector and paper width deflector to the slot suitable for paper size, in order to match paper length and width.

note.eps

Note:

• Do not overly squeeze the "paper length guide" and "paper width guide", otherwise it could easily lead to deformation of paper.

3. Before loading paper, please unfold the stacked paper to avoid a paper jam or feed error, and then load the paper into the tray print-side down.The automatic feeder tray can be loaded up to 250 pages, 80g/m² paper.

4. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately remove the printed document after the printing is complete.

note.eps

Note:

• It is recommended that you raise the output tray to prevent the paper from slipping and falling after printing. If you choose not to raise the output tray, we recommend that you immediately remove the printed paper from the printer.

• If more than 250 pages (80 g/m²) are put inside the auto feed tray at one time, paper jam or paper feed failure will be led to.

• If carrying out single-sided printing, please make sure that the side to be printed (the blank side) is face down.

2.4.2. Install manual feed tray

1. Raise the output tray to avoid the printed paper from slipping and falling, or immediately remove the printed document after the printing is complete.

2. Open manual feed tray.

3. Slide the paper deflector of manual feed tray to match the two sides of paper. Do not use excessive force; otherwise, paper will be made jammed or skewed.

4. Put a flat printing medium into the manual feed tray with both hands.

note.eps

Note:

• The printer will enter manual feed mode automatically when you put papers inside the manual feed tray.

• Please put one printing medium inside the manual feed tray each time and put in another piece after finishing printing.

• Put the printing medium inside the manual feed tray with the printing side up; the top of paper should be put inside first.

5. When the printed page is output from the printer, put the second piece inside according to the above steps to continue printing. Slow action will lead to the prompt of paper out or paper failure of manual feed tray. After paper is put inside, printing will be resumed automatically; too quick action may make paper caught up in the printer, which will easily result in paper jam.

note.eps

Note:

• After printing, please take out printed papers output from printer immediately. Stacked papers or envelops will lead to paper jam or wrapped paper.

note.eps

Note:

• Printer appearance may differ because of various models and functions, so the schematic diagram is only for your reference.

Steps of Use:

1. Lift up the scanner cover.

2. Load the manuscript face down.

3. Align the manuscript to match the appropriate paper size.

note.eps

Note:

• If the manuscript does not match with any size marker, please align the upper-left corner of the manuscript with the arrow.

• Make sure there is no document in the ADF. If a document is detected in the ADF, it will be more preferential than that on glass platen.

4) Close the scanner cover gently.

note.eps

Note:

• Please put the paper or document on the scanner glass after the glue, ink or correction fluid are completely dried.

• Rough textured, uneven, oil stained and extremely smooth paper will make printing effect poor.

• Please make sure that there is no dust, fluff, etc. on the paper.

• Paper shall be put on a flat surface and stored under a cool and dry environment.

• To avoid influencing the definition, please don't open the scanner cover during scanning with the platen.

2.5.2. Scan with the automatic document feeder (ADF)

1. Put the original into the ADF with its front upward and top fed first.

2. Adjust the document guide till it gets close to the paper stack.

note.eps

Note:

• The ADF supports feeding 50 pieces of paper at most that should be fed one by one.
