Loading Paper in the Paper Cassette

Different sizes of paper can be loaded in Cassette 1 supplied with the printer and in Cassette 2, 3, and 4 that are available when the optional paper feeders are installed. Then, you can switch among these paper sources automatically.

Since the paper loading procedures for Cassette 1 and for the optional Cassette 2 to 4 differ, load paper properly using the following procedure.

IMPORTANT

•When printing, be sure not to open the cover and pull the paper cassette out. The printer may stop and may not print.

•Follow the instructions below not to result in paper jams.

-Do not load any paper other than plain paper (64-105 g/m2) such as postcard and envelope, and label. For more details on the paper that can be loaded, see "Paper Requirements," on p. 12.

-Do not load paper with jagged edges, creased, or extremely curled paper.

-Refill the cassette after paper runs out. If the cassette is refilled when paper still remains in the cassette, it may result in misfeeds.

-Be sure that the paper stack does not exceed the load limit marks on the paper guides. If the paper stack exceeds the load limit marks, this may result in misfeeds.

•Do not touch the black rubber pad in the cassette 1, and the paper feed rollers in the

cassette 2, 3, and 4. This may result in misfeeds. - Cassette 1
