Loading Paper
As standard, paper can be loaded in the two drawer s of cassettes and the
Multi Purpose Tr ay . As opt ion s, 2 pa pe r feed e rs an d the sid e fe ed er of
3,000 sheets capacity are also available (refer to Chapter 4 Options).
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan through the sheets to
separate them slightly prior to loading in the following steps.
1Bend the whole set of papers to swell them in the middle.
2Hold the papers at both ends and stretch them while giving a swell over the
entire papers.
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 paper jam.
CAUTION: If you copy onto used paper (paper already used for copying),
do not use paper that is stapled or clipped togeth er. This may damage the
machine or cause poor image quality.
NOTE: If print outputs are curled or not neatly stapled, turn the papers in
the cassette upside down.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures an d high humidity as
dampness can be a cause of problem. Seal any remaining paper after
loading the Multi Purpose Tray or cassette 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 sealin g it in the paper
storage bag .
