							When inserted, sheets are automatically held by suction against the Platen.
Important•Load  a  sheet  so  that  it  is  parallel  to  the  Paper  Alignment  Line  at  right  (c).  Loading  paper  askew  will
cause an error.
• Warped paper may rub against the Printhead. Straighten paper if it is warped before loading it.Note•You can adjust the strength of suction holding paper against the Platen when the Release Lever is up.
If it is difficult to load paper, press the  ▲ or  ▼ button on the Control Panel to adjust the strength. Set
suction stronger by pressing the  ▲ button or weaker with the  ▼ button. Three settings are available.
However,  even  if  you  increase  the  suction,  it  may  not  be  sufficient  to  hold  some  types  of  paper
against the Platen well. In this case, use your hand to load the paper.
• Sheets are held in place by suction through holes on the Platen. Although the suction may produce a
noise  when  paper  is  loaded  in  some  positions,  it  does  not  indicate  a  problem.  If  the  noise  is  distract-
ing,  try  moving  the  paper  over  slightly  to  the  left  or  right  (up  to  1  mm  [0.039  in])  while  keeping  it
parallel to the Paper Alignment Line.
• The suction remains on for about 30 seconds during loading. If you cannot finish loading a sheet dur-
ing this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the suction again.
