paper delivery table or insert one sheet of paper between two prints. With

the default setting, one sheet of paper is fed while the drum rotates once.

However, you can change the setting so that one sheet of paper is fed each time the drum rotates two to five times. If you set the drum to rotate

two or five times each time one sheet of paper is fed, you can use 590 mm,

23.2”, or shorter paper. The maximum length of paper is 447 mm, 17.5”. If you use paper longer than 447 mm, 17.5”, completed prints will not be delivered to the paper delivery table properly, so receive them by hands.
