•To avoid placing handling dings (dents) on sheets, you may need to fan the paper after it is loaded in the feed tray. Fanning may improve performance if paper is poorly cut.

•If the paper packaging does not specify a paper loading direction, load paper into the tray with the curl side down.

To determine the curl side of the paper, hold a 1/2 inch (13mm) stack between your thumb and first finger by the short edge and allow the paper to hang freely. The long edges will curl slightly toward the center of the stack as shown in Figure 2-4.

•Place paper gently into the feeder tray. Handle large size stocks in partial reams to prevent leaving handling dents on sheets. Handling dents are small creases on the paper surface or coating, which can cause deletions in the printed image.

•Stack paper into the tray in a uniform stack so that all sheets are touching the lead edge (left side) of the tray and are roughly centered front to back.

•Never stack paper above the maximum mark, which is on the right, rear paper guide. Tray capacities (based on 20 pound bond (75 gsm) paper) are:

•4-tray feed module

–Tray 1: up to1600 sheets

–Tray 2: up to 3100 sheets

–Trays 3 and 4: up to 550 sheets each.

•2-tray feed module

–Trays 1 and 2: up to 1,600 sheets each.

•After all of the paper has been placed into the tray, adjust the paper guides so they are touching the stack.

NOTE: Feeding problems will occur if the paper is not stacked uniformly. Faults will occur if the paper guides are not adjusted properly.

•If a stock does not feed properly, try flipping the paper stack
