It is not necessary to remove fanfold paper currently loaded in the printer in 
order to print on cut-sheet paper fed by hand. Instead, simply use the following 
procedure to park the fanfold paper.

Tear off the paper at a perforation so there is no more than half a page 
sticking out of the front cover of the printer.
If necessary, you can press the control panel’s 

 

button to put the 

printer off-line. Then use the 

button to feed the paper until a perforation 

is just past the front cover.

Press the control panel’s 

 button. The printer automatically reverse feeds 

the fanfold paper until it is no longer in contact with the platen.

using the procedures under “Manual sheet feeding” on page 59.
