  • Specify the size of tab stock under Paper Size in Tray Paper Settings. The sizes that can be used are A4Portrait, 81/2" × 11"Portrait, and 81/2" × 14"Landscape.

  • Tab stock can be loaded into Tray 2, Tray 3 and 4 of LCT, Wide LCT, and multi bypass tray. When loading tab stock in the paper trays, always use the tab sheet holder on each tray. The tab sheet holder for Tray 2 is an optional unit.

  • Set tab stock so that the side with the tab is facing the back fence.

Note

  • Check the position of the index tab to avoid cropping the image.

  • Align the image you want to print by checking the position of the index tab. If the image extends beyond the index tab, the backs of sheets may get soiled with toner.

  • Tab stock is fed starting from the top tab.
