Chapter 2 Handling Paper

IMPORTANT

•There is a sticker ( in the illustration) indicating paper capacity attached to the inside of the paper cassette. Do not load paper above this limit.

•When loading paper into the paper cassette, make sure that the print side is facing upward. (The print side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.)

•Check that the paper guide makes secure contact with the paper. If there is a gap, adjust the position of the paper guide.

•If small-size paper jams occur frequently under high tem- perature and high humidity conditions, reduce the number of sheets to the level line indicated on the sticker .

NOTE

Before leaving the printer in disuse for a prolonged period of time, remove the paper from the paper cassette(s) and seal it in its original packaging to protect from moisture. Also, when storing paper in a high temperature and high humidity envi- ronment, seal it in a moisture-proof bag.

4.2Loading Paper into the MP (Multi- Purpose) Tray

Special paper as well as standard paper can be loaded into the MP tray. When printing onto transparencies or thick paper, be sure to use the MP tray.

NOTE

•The number of sheets of standard paper that can be loaded in the MP tray at a time is approximately 200.

•When using transparencies, load a single sheet at a time.

IMPORTANT

When setting special paper, such as transparencies and thick paper, into the M tray, select the type of paper by referring to 3.Paper Type on page 2-5.
