Preparing to Copy
Loading Paper
Load paper in the four cassettes, the MP tray and/or the optional side feeder. For details on the types of paper supported, refer to Paper in the Appendix of the Advanced Operation Guide.
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan through the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause paper jams.
IMPORTANT: 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 copier or cause poor image quality.
When loading paper in a cassette, keep the side toward the sealed side facing down. When loading paper in the MP tray, keep the side toward the sealed side facing up.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as dampness may cause copying problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading the MP tray or a cassette in its original package. If the copier will not be used for a prolonged period, protect all paper from humidity by removing from the cassettes and sealing in the original package.
Loading Paper in Cassettes 1 and 2
Cassettes 1 and 2 support standard and recycled paper. Up to 1,500 sheets of standard paper (80 g/m²) may be loaded in each cassette.
The cassettes support 11 × 8 1/2" or A4 paper.
IMPORTANT: Specify the type of paper loaded in the cassettes. Refer to Specifying the Paper Type on page
1Pull the cassette out toward you until it stops.
