Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in the cassette and the multi purpose tray. A paper feeder is also available as an
option (refer to Optional Equipment on Appendix-2).

Before Loading Paper

When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to
separate them slightly prior to loading in the following steps.
1Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in the middle.
2Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it while keeping
the entire stack swelled.
3Raise the right and left hands alternately to create a gap
and feed air between the papers.
4Finally, align the papers on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before
loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a jam.
CAUTION: 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 machine.
NOTE: If printouts are curled or not neatly stapled, turn the
stack in the cassette upside down.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and
high humidity as dampness can be a cause of problems.
Seal any remaining paper after loading in the multi
purpose tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag.
If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period,
protect all paper from humidity by removing it from the
cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.
NOTE: If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper
with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or company
name, refer to Paper on Appendix-9.
