The printer can feed paper from the Paper Cassette, Optional Lower Paper 
Cassette or Optional A4/Letter Cassette. 
Note 
When you load paper into the Paper Cassette, note the following: 
• If your application software supports paper size selection on the print 
menu, you can select it through the software. If your application software 
does not support it, you can set the paper size in the printer driver or 
from the control panel.   
 The paper size has been factory set to letter for 120V models or A4 for 
220/240V models. If you want to use other size of paper or envelopes, 
change the paper size in the PAPER menu of the PRINT MENU using 
the control panel.  For paper size selection, see “PRINT MENU” in 
Chapter 4.  
 If you use pre-printed paper in the cassettes, please note that the paper 
should be loaded with the printed side face up and the top edge of the 
paper at the back of the cassette. 
 
The printer automatically detects the paper size you have loaded into the 
Paper Cassette.  If you load a different size of paper into the paper cassette 
from the size that was selected from the control panel or in your application 
software, the printer will prompt you to load the correct size of paper as 
follows:     
SIZE MISMATCH   
Paper mismatch between the Printer and 
the Printer Driver setting.  Load Paper 
 size into Tray

Since this printer does not have a manual feed or multi-purpose tray, you 
cannot manually feed irregular sized paper. However, this printer has a 
special “Manual Feed” mode using Tray 1 (upper tray) to accommodate 
non-standard paper sizes.  You can select this mode with the printer driver 
or the control panel. 
See “PAPER” in Chapter 4 for more information on selecting this setting 
using the printer Control Panel.   
1. When the manual feed command is selected, the printer waits until you 
load the paper in Tray 1.   
MANUAL FEED   
=on  
2. Pull out Tray 1 and load the paper you are going to use. If the size of 
paper you wish to print on is different to the size of paper in the paper 
tray it will be necessary to remove the paper stack first.  
3. Re-install Tray 1 and press Go. The printer then starts printing.  
Note 
Print quality may be affected by the type of paper you use and the print 
image.

If you want to reprint a document that has just been printed, you can re\
print 
it by pressing  Reprint. Also, if you have created a document that you wish 
to share with colleagues, simply spool the document to a non-secure area\
 
of the printer. This document can then be re-printed by anyone who is on\
 
the network or at the printer control panel. 
  
You can use the Reprint function when the printer is “ READY” or in the 
MENU state.  
When you want to print PROOF, PUBLIC or SECURE data, we recommend 
installing the optional HDD or CompactFlash card. 
If you do not install an HDD or CompactFlash card, you can reprint from \
RAM. ( See “COMPACTFLASH CARD/ HARD DISK DRIVE” in Chapter 6. ) 
The reprint data in RAM will be deleted when the printer is turned off. \
 
When you use RAM to reprint: 
1. Press  Set on the control panel to exit from the READY state, and then 
select RAMDISK SIZE in the SETUP mode. 
2. The default RAM is 0MB. Press  + to increase the reprint RAM size in 
increments of 1MB. 
 
Notes 
 When you increase the RAM size for secure printing, the work area of the\
 
printer is decreased and the printer performance is reduced. Ensure that\
 
you reset the RAMDISK SIZE to 0MB when you have finished using 
Secure Printing. 
 When you store data in RAM, the data will be deleted when the printer 
power is turned off. 
 
We also recommend adding additional RAM if you want to be able to print \
a 
large quantity of secured data. ( See “RAM Expansion” in Chapter  6)

Reprinting the Last JOB 
You can reprint the last print job data without sending it from the computer 
again. 
 
Notes 
 When REPRINT is turned off on the panel and you press the Reprint key, 
the LCD briefly shows “NO DATA STORED.” 
 If you want to cancel Reprinting, press the Job Cancel key. 
 If the printer does not have enough memory to spool the print job data, it 
will print only the last page of the data.  We recommend that you expand 
the memory when you want to reprint a large amount of data.  For more 
information on memory expansion, see “RAM EXPANSION” of Chapter 6. 
 Pressing – or + decreases or increases the number of reprint copies. You 
can select between COPIES= 1 and COPIES=999. 
 For more information about the settings in the printer driver, see “Job 
Spooling” in Chapter 2.
