Panasonic KX-P1654 Paper Handling

Continuous Feeding

Tractor Feed method: Front feed

Rear feed

Bottom feed

Optional Feeders: Cut sheet feeder (Part # KX-P38)

Loading fanfold (pull feed)

1. Turn the power switch on.

2. Make sure that the head gap lever position is appropriate for the thickness of the paper being used.

3. Remove the top cover and open the smoked plastic cover.

4. Set the paper feed select to the "PULL" position. The display briefly shows TRACTOR/PULL.

5. Unlock the tractors by pulling the tractor clamping levers forward. Slide the tractors out toward the sides to the approximate width for the required paper size.

6. Raise the upper tractor covers only and align the center paper support so that it is centered between the tractor.

7. When front feeding, open the paper door on the front of the printer and insert the paper along the paper guides with the side which you wish to print on facing up, until it appears on the platen. When bottom feeding, Push the paper up, with the side which you wish to print on facing up, until it appears on the platen.

8. Adjust the paper position by pulling it up as shown.

9. Align the paper sprocket holes with the tractor pins. Verify the paper is straight and close the upper tractor covers.

10. Adjust the tractor accordingly to remove any slack. Align the paper horizontally by using the marks on the rear cabinet as a guide. Press back on the tractor clamping levers locking the tractors in place.

11. Replace the top cover so that it is totally forward, and close the smoked plastic cover.

12. You can now adjust your Top of Form position or press the [ON LINE] switch to get ready to print.

Manual Feeding

1. Set the paper feed selector so that it is pointing towards the rear of the machine. It will then be positioned next to the picture of the blank page.

2. Raise the paper easel by lifting the paper easel hand guide.

3. Separate the paper guides to the approximate width of your paper or envelope.

4. Insert the paper through the paper guides and behind the platen. The paper bail release lever will move to the T.PULL position, and then the PAPER OUT indicator will be lit.

5. Press the LOAD/PARK switch to load paper to the first print line.

6. To align the paper horizontally or vertically, set the paper feed selector to the "PULL" position. This releases the paper and allows the paper to be positioned manually as required. Set the selector back to the picture of the blank page before printing.
