Example Basket Configurations

When printing line drawings on plain paper, you can use the basket not only at the regular position but also at two kinds of extended positions convenient for catching printed material.

The paper sizes that can be used with these extended positions are shown in the table below. Use the best position that suits the paper size and orientation.

Important

  • Use the regular position in the following situations. If you print multiple sheets in the regular position, remove the printed material from the basket one sheet at a time.

    • Paper other than plain paper
    • Paper sizes not listed in the following table and printed material other than line drawings
    • If the paper curls excessively due to the qualities of the paper or the usage environment
    • If the paper curls excessively near the end of a roll of paper

  • When using in the extended position A/B, remove the printed material carefully to prevent the printed surface from rubbing against the rod or handle of the basket.

  • Return the basket to the regular position after printing.
