Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in the two cassettes and the MP tray. An optional paper feeder is also available. (Refer to Chapter 4 Optional Equipment.)
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading by the following steps.
1Bend the stack of sheets and swell in the middle.
2Hold the stack at both ends and stretch the bottom out flat while keeping the top of the stack swelled.
3Raise your right and left hands alternately to create a gap and let air between the sheets.
4Finally, even out the stack 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.
IMPORTANT If you copy with used paper (paper already used for copying), do not use paper that is stapled or clipped together. This may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.
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 cause problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading in the MP tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag.
If the machine is not going to be used for a prolonged period, protect 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
