Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded in the two standard cassettes and the multi purpose tray. Paper feeders are also available
as an option (refer to
Optional Equipment on Appendix-2
).
For the paper feed methods for each cassette, refer to the page below.
* The paper feed method is the same as standard cassettes 1 and 2.
IMPORTANT:
• The number of sheets that can be held varies depending on your environment.
• You should not use inkjet printer paper or any paper with a special surface coating. (Such paper may cause
paper jams or other faults.)
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets
to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following
steps.
1
Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in the
middle.
2
Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it while
keeping the entire stack risen.
3
Raise the right and left hands alternately to create
a gap and feed air between the paper.
4
Finally, align the paper on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before
loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a
jam.
CAUTION:
If you copy onto used paper (paper already used for copying), do not use paper that is stapled or
clipped together. This may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of problems.
Seal any remaining paper after loading in the multi purpose tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag.
If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period, protect all paper from humidity by removing it from the
cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.
NOTE:
Note that some paper types have a tendency to curl and may jam in the paper eject unit.
If the output paper scatters or stacks unevenly, turn the paper over in the cassette, or change the orientation
(vertical/horizontal) of the paper in the cassette. If that does not solve the problem, change the cassette paper
type to custom 8.
If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or company
name, refer to
the Paper on Appendix-12
.
