SYMPTOM
A paper mis-feed or mutli-feed occurs (paper weight 1, 2, 3) when feeding 100-200 sheets
from the Vacuum Feed LCIT.
CAUSE
The airflow between sheets of paper is not optimal, causing a delay in the paper picking
process (mis-feed) or failing to separate the sheets of paper (multi-feed).
SOLUTION
Do the following.
1. Set
No. 125 “2-Tray LCT : Paper Feed Position” to “
High
” in the Paper Library settings.
2. Upgrade the Paper Library as follows.
