2 Paper and Other Media

The machine is designed to use various paper types and other media. This chapter provides information on loading paper and other types of media into the machine.

Loading Paper

The machine can be equipped with various paper trays. Depending on the machine configuration, up to six paper trays are available including the Envelope Tray. This section provides information on how to load paper into each type of tray.

NOTE: Make sure the side and rear paper guides on the trays are properly positioned to match the size of paper loaded. If there is a gap between the paper stack and the guides, paper may not be fed into the machine properly, or paper jams may occur.

For information on the paper sizes and media types for each tray, refer to Supported Paper Sizes and Types on page 23.

For information on the acceptable range of paper sizes and capacity for each tray, refer to Paper Supply in the Appendix chapter on page 423.

Preparing Paper for Loading

Before loading paper into the paper trays, fan the edges. This procedure separates any sheets of paper that are stuck together and reduces the possibility of paper jams.

NOTE: To avoid paper jams and misfeeds, do not remove paper from its packaging until required.

Trays 1 & 2/Two Tray Module (Trays 3 & 4)

Trays 1 to 4 can be loaded with standard and non-standard sized paper. NOTE: If the machine is processing a job, do not open the active paper tray.

1. Pull out the paper tray towards you.

NOTE: To avoid jams and misfeeds, do not load paper on top of any remaining paper in the tray. Remove the paper, and reload it on top of the new stock loaded.

2.If required, move the paper tray

guides further out to load the new stock.

To adjust the side and rear guides, pinch the guide lever on each guide and slide the guides to their new position. To secure the guides in position, release the levers.
