IMPORTANT
• Vellum
Since vellum is very susceptible to its environment, when it is not
used, put it in a plastic bag and seal it.
• When using vellum at a high humidity or at a low temperature,
vellum will become fragile, resulting in wrinkles prints or missing
images. If images are not properly printed, perform the following
procedure.
* When using cut vellum:
Change the orientation of the paper (portrait or landscape).
* When using a vellum roll:
Unroll 1 length of paper and cut the paper before using it.
• When using roll paper whose surface is contaminated with
adhesive, remove the adhesive or unroll the paper until the adhesive
is no longer visible and cut off the unusable length.

Description
Select either “Architecture” or “Engineering” [“A sizes” or “B

that are automatically detected by the printer.
If paper of the same size is set in multiple paper sources,
when paper in a paper source runs out during printing,
another paper source will be automatically selected and
printing will continue. If “2. Media Type [Pre-set Temp.]” is
set to “ON”, however, auto roll over will not function between
different media types of the same size.
When the printer runs out of paper or experiences a paper
jam during printing, this status can be conveyed by a buzzer
in addition to the messages displayed on the operation
panel. This feature is particularly convenient when the
printer is not located in the immediate vicinity of the operator.
The buzzer sounds at the following conditions:
• When the printer runs out of paper during printing;
• When the data page size and/or media type differ from
those of the selected paper tray;
• When there is a paper jam;
• When the printer runs out of toner;
• When the waste toner tank is full;
• When the “Call service” message is displayed;
• When another printer error has activated the Attention
indicator on the operation panel.
