TI microLaser Plus PS-17/35 Paper Handling

To load the standard paper tray:

1. Lift up the paper tray and pull it completely out of the printer.

2. Press down on the spring-loaded pressure plate until it latches into place.

3. Fan up to 250 sheets of 20-lb laser paper to prevent the sheets from sticking together.

4. Place the paper--printing side down--into the paper tray.

5. If you are using letterhead, place the top of the paper face down against the front (label end) of the tray.

6. Make sure the paper fits under the two metal corner tabs. Remove some sheets if necessary.

7. Slide the loaded paper tray back into the printer until it drops into place.

The printer turns off the Error indicator and goes back on-line.

8. You can now resume printing.

Standard Tray: Standard 250 sheet tray

Optional Trays: Second 250 sheet tray

Automatic 40-envelope feeder

Manual Feeding

To use the manual feed slot:

1. Extend the rear output tray if you are printing on heavy stock.

2. Press the Tray switch and select Manual

3. Print as usual. When the printer is ready to print a page, the Manual indicator lights.

4. Insert a single sheet--printing side up and top of first page--into the manual feed slot, keeping it against the left side of the slot.

5. Slide the paper into the slot until you feel a slight resistance as the rollers grasp the paper and pull the paper into the printer.
