System Overview Introduction The Sony LPR-1000MD is an ink jet printer which is equipped with a high-speed line shot. The LPR-1000MD has the following features. High-speed line shot The printer is equipped with a high-speed line shot. Since the line shot method is applied, the ink is sprayed out at a stretch while the paper passes under the print head of the longer page width to print the pictures and characters of the print data. It takes only six seconds for the paper to pass under the print head. That is the actual printing time. Also, the optimum LD shot technology is incorporated in the line shot. Location and Function of Parts and Controls The following diagrams show the printer after it is assembled. For details, see the pages indicated in parenthesis. Front A quiet printer for a work-friendly environment Use of a fixed-type print head reduces the noise or vibration which occurs while the print head is printing. This allows you to enjoy a quiet, work-friendly environment. USB connector The printer is equipped with a USB connector. Pure paper extracting the printer characteristics The EPP-300A4MD Sony High Quality Paper (not supplied) comes in 100 sheet packs and has good color and a high degree of whiteness. Since this coated paper absorbs the ink quickly, printouts without blotted characters and with clear, high-quality images can be made. A Head cover (44) Open this cover to replace the ink cartridges.

In actual printing, the number of printed pages which can be ejected may be reduced depending on use environment where the printer is used. Notes on using paper other than paper manufactured by Sony Corporation

When using mat coated paper manufactured by another company, the number of sheets which can be loaded and ejected depends on the thickness of the paper. Thus, those numbers may be different from ones listed on the above table. In the case of doublesided mat paper, the number of sheets may be about 20 pages.
It is recommended that you use mat coated paper with a thickness between 0.1mm and 0.27mm.
You cannot use the following paper: Plain paper whose weight is less than 60g/m2 or higher than 105g/m2. Notes on Paper Notes on handling paper
When holding paper, hold it at both ends of the sheet so as not to touch the printing surface. Dust, scratches or finger prints on the paper are likely to cause unsatisfactory printing.
After printing, do not touch the surface printed until the ink dries. Also, if you wet the printed sheet with water, do not touch the surface printed until it dries.
There are some types of paper whose printed surface warps and is rubbed when printing photos or graphics using a large amount of ink. This type of paper is not suitable for printing photos or graphics. Use this type of paper when printing print data consisting of characters or text. When storing paper
Use the original package for unused paper.
Avoid storing paper in a location subject to: – high temperatures – high humidity – excessive dust – direct sunlight
Place the unused paper on a flat surface so that it will not warp or bend. Preparing Paper

Unsuitable paper Preparation Do not use the following paper. Doing so is likely to result in malfunctions such as paper jams.

Thin paper (less than a weight of 60g/m2)
Thick paper (more than a weight of 105g/m2, excluding paper manufactured by Sony Corporation)
Paper with holes (such as loose-leaf paper) Loading Paper The printer feeds paper automatically one sheet at a time from the auto sheet feeder tray (supplied). To load paper, follow the procedure below. Be careful not to touch the printing surface.

Remove the auto sheet feeder tray. If you use the printer for the first time, skip this step. Start from step 2.

Open the cover of the auto sheet feeder tray. Cover

Move the paper guides (vertical and horizontal) to the ends. Notes

Place the paper against the back of the auto sheet feeder tray towards the left side.
Place the paper with the long side placed vertically and the short side horizontally. Paper guide (horizontal)

Reattach the cover to the auto sheet feeder tray and insert it into the printer. Preparation Paper guide (vertical)

Riffle the paper so that it is even. Note Be careful not to touch the printing surface. Notes

When plain paper is used, place the paper in the auto sheet feeder tray so that the printing surface faces down. When Sony High Quality Paper is used, place the paper in the auto sheet feeder tray so that the more whitish side faces down. Then, secure the paper in place by sliding the paper guides inward towards the paper. Set the paper securely at this point. Place the paper in the auto sheet feeder tray with facing the printing surface down.

When printing, be sure to pull out the output support completely. If it is pull out halfway, the paper may jam.
The number of sheets which the automatic paper feeding tray can hold depends on the type of paper in use. For detailed information on the maximum number of sheets which can be loaded, see page 11.
Do not mix different types of paper in the auto sheet feeder tray.
To remove jammed paper, push the READY button, blinking in orange. The jammed paper is automatically ejected. Should the jammed paper remain after you have pushed the READY button, see “If the Paper Jams” on page 56.
Do not use paper listed in “Unsuitable paper” on page

Do not pull the paper out when printing has started and the paper is being fed. Doing so is likely to result in malfunctions or paper jams.
It is often difficult to feed paper from the auto sheet feeder tray, or sometimes it may be fed at an angle, depending on the usage circumstances. In such a case, add one sheet of the same type of paper in the auto sheet feeder tray and try to print again.
The paper may warp depending on the circumstances and the warped paper may stick up out from the auto sheet feeder tray. In this case, the printer will not be able to feed the paper. Try to make the warped paper lie flat or reduce the number of sheets set in the auto sheet feeder tray. Loading Paper

When plain paper is loaded in the auto sheet feeder tray, if a different media type is selected on the Main tab of the Printing Preferences dialog box, the printed paper may not be ejected correctly. For detailed information on how to select the media type, see “Settings for Paper” on page 17. Preparation
