Caution:
the sheet capacity given in the technical data may not be exceeded as oth-erwise
a paper jam will occur. Remember that the thickness of the paper increases when it is
folded and the recommended sheet capacity may be exceeded in this way. Reduce the
quantity of paper fed if it is coarse fibre paper.
it is recommended not to fill the paper collection basket up to the cutting unit. This prevents
cut material becoming jammed in the cutting unit.
Empty the paper collection basket at regular intervals.
