3. When replacing the friction pad, adjust the gap between the feed roller
and the friction pad.
4. Do not touch the feed roller or the friction pad with oily hands.
5. If the copy paper stacked in the cassette binds against the side or back
fences and the frequency of paper misfeeds increases when using a non-
standard paper, adjust the position of the side fences and/or the back
fence of the cassette.
For example:
With an A4/LT (sideways) cassette, if the paper width is 297.5mm
and 296mm is the proper width, no paper feeding will
occur because there is too much friction.
6. A worn out registration roller causes paper to crease. It should be
replaced.
2.10 DOCUMENT FEEDER
1. Do not bend the DF interface harness at a sharp angle. This damages the
fiber optics cables.
2. When installing or reinstalling the document feeder, make sure that the
document feeder is in the open position.
3. A buildup of static electricity on the exposure glass can cause originals to
jam. Apply silicon oil to the glass to reduce the amount of friction.
2.11 SORTER
1. The sorter has two types of bins; one type is used for odd numbered bins
and the other is used for even numbers. Be careful not to mix them up.
2. If bin operation is not smooth, lubricate the slot liners and transfer wheels
using grease 501 or an equivalent type.
2.12 LARGE CAPACITY TRAY
1. Unplug the power supply cord of the LCT before servicing it.
2. Before placing the large capacity tray in the cassette holders, make sure
that the paper position feeler is set properly.
