= SUMMARY =

If you print to legal-size paper (in portrait or landscape orientation) on the IBM 4019 printer with the PostScript option installed, the printer will stop printing and display the error code “2” on the status panel if the tray size is not set to legal.

To print to legal-size paper, the tray size on the printer must be set to legal-size paper. Use the following steps to change the tray size to legal for manual feed and for the legal tray:

Manual Feed

 * 1) Take the printer offline by pressing the Start/Stop button until the Ready light is off.
 * 2) Press the Paper Source button until Manual is lit.
 * 3) Hold down the Start/Stop button, and press the Paper Source button until “2” appears in the Status window.
 * 4) Hold down the Code button and press Orientation. This will save the setting as the default.
 * 5) Press the Start/Stop button to place the printer back online.

The printer is now ready to print manually fed legal-size paper.

Note: After manually feeding paper, the printer must be set back to tray 1 (paper source) for any subsequent jobs to be printed continuously.

Legal Tray

 * 1) Take the printer offline by pressing the Start/Stop button until the Ready light is off.
 * 2) Press the Paper Source button until Tray 1 is lit.
 * 3) Hold down the Start/Stop button, and press the Paper Source button until “2” appears in the status window.
 * 4) Hold down the Code button and press Orientation. This will save the setting as the default.
 * 5) Press the Start/Stop button to place the printer back online.

To set the printer back to letter-size paper, do the following:


 * 1) Take the printer offline.
 * 2) Hold down the Start/Stop button, and press the Paper Source button until “1” appears in the Status window.
 * 3) Put the printer back online.
