- Lower the output tray
at the front of the printer, then slide out the
extension.

- Slide the left edge
guide on the sheet feeder to the left as far as it will
go.

- Fan a stack of paper;
then tap it on a flat surface to even the edges.
- Load the stack of
paper, printable side up, so that its right edge is
firmly against the right side of the sheet feeder. (Do
not load paper above the arrow printed on the inside of
the left edge guide on the sheet feeder.) Then slide the
left edge guide against the left edge of the paper.

Loading Envelopes
Do not use envelopes that
are curled or folded, or ones that are too thin; they may curl
during printing. Also, do not choose 720 dpi resolution for
envelope printing.
- Make sure to set the
paper thickness and thickness adjustment levers to the
correct positions for envelopes. See steps 1 and 2 above.
- You can load up to 10
envelopes in the sheet feeder with the printable side
facing up.

- Adjust the left edge
guide so the envelopes feed straight into the paper path.
- Change the printer
driver settings so they are appropriate for the envelopes
you loaded.

Using the Default Setting
mode
Additional printer functions
are available through the Default setting mode. Because the
printer's factory defaults are designed to meet the needs of
almost all users, you rarely need to change the printer functions
listed below. If necessary, however, you can turn on the Default
setting mode and change the settings using the control panel
buttons.
To turn on Default setting
mode and print instructions, turn off the printer. Then hold down
the Economy/Condensed button while you turn the printer back on.
Follow the instructions the printer prints to change the default
settings by pressing the buttons on the control panel. When you
are finished, press Pause and turn off the printer to exit
Default setting mode.
Default setting mode
functions:
- Print Direction
- Specifies how the print
head moves across the page. The options are Uni-D, Bi-D
and Auto (default). When Uni-D is on, the print head
prints in only one direction to provide the most precise
alignment for graphics and text. In Bi-D printing, the
print head prints in both directions. Bi-D is faster but
the vertical alignment may not be as precise as Uni-D.
When Auto is selected, the printer switches automatically
between Uni-D and Bi-D as necessary when it receives
data.
- Font and Pitch
- Select the built-in
printer font and character pitch used as the default.
Normally you use your software to select the font and
pitch. The default Font and Pitch is Courier 10 CPI
(characters per inch).
- Interface Mode
- Determines from which
interface the printer receives print data. The default
setting, Auto, allows the printer to automatically switch
as needed between the parallel and serial interfaces.
However, if you experience communication problems, you
might want to set the interface mode to either Parallel
or Serial.
- Auto interface wait
time
- Sets the time period
for the printer to wait for data from the current
interface (and accept no data from the other interface)
when you're using the Auto interface mode. You can select
a 10-second (default) or 30-second timeout.
- Software
- Specifies the printer
control language to use: Epson ESC/P2 (default) or IBM
X24/X24E. If your software allows you to select Epson
ESC/P2, choose it for the most advanced fonts and
graphics.
- Auto CR
- Specifies that the
printer perform a carriage return and line feed operation
if the print positions exceed the right margin of the
paper. (Used in IBM X24/X24E mode only).
- AGM (Alternate Graphics
Mode)
- Specifies that the
printer use high-resolution, 24-pin graphics commands.
(Used in IBM X24/X24E mode only).
- Character table
- Selects the set of
characters and symbols that can be printed. The default
is the Italic USA character table. If you commonly use a
language containing accents, symbols or other characters
not available in the Italic USA character table, change
to a different character table.
- Auto line feed
- Specifies that a
carriage return character encountered in the print file
be accompanied by a line feed command. By default, auto
line feed is off. If text lines print on top of one
another, turn on auto line feed.
- Network interface mode
- If you're having
trouble printing when the printer is connected to
multiple computers, turn on network interface mode. By
default, network interface mode is off.
- Loading position
- Determines the top
margin by defining how close to the paper edge the first
line can print. The lading position can be 3 mm (default)
or 8.5 mm. Normally you should use your software to
adjust your top margin.
- Thick paper
- Select Index card
(portrait) or Envelope (default) if you print on these
media.
