5-2. STACKING ACCORDING TO PAPER SIZE

5. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

5-3. STACKING PAPER FOR THE NORMAL MODE

Take note that the way to stack the paper differs according to the size of the paper.

For A3SR, A3, LD, A4, LT, and B5 paper:

• Place the paper vertically as shown in the figure.

For A5 paper:

• Place the paper horizontally as shown in the figure.

There are two ways of stacking paper on the paper feed table in this mode.

When the paper is placed with its printed face up:

• Place the paper on the tables, starting from the top table, in the order of its pages.

• The paper will be ejected onto the paper receiving table with its printed face down.

When the paper is placed with its printed face down:

• Place the paper on the tables, starting from the bottom table, in the order of its pages.

Use the method that makes it easier for you to carry out operations. When using downstream processing devices, refer to the instruction manual provided for them.

5. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

5-4. STACKING PAPER FOR THE ALTERNATIVE MODE

• Divide paper of the same page into two piles and stack them on odd and even paper feed tables (tables 1 and 2, table 3 and 4, tables 5 and 6, tables 7 and 8, tables 9 and 10).

• The paper will be fed from either table of each pair (from the odd or even table). Normally, the paper will be fed from the odd table, and when it runs out of paper, paper will be fed from the even table.

• The process hereafter is the same as in ''5-3. Stacking Paper for the NORMAL Mode" on page

17.

When the paper is placed with its printed face up.

When the paper is placed with its printed face down.

Note

When using peripherals, decide whether to place the paper with its printed face up or down according to the specifications of these devices.

• Stack the interleaves on the last table used. For example, if the first seven tables from the top are to be used, stack these interleaves on the seventh table. (See figure on the right.)

6-5. DIP SWITCHES

• The dip switches are located inside the cover.

• The functions of the dip switches and settings at factory are as shown in the figure below.

Dip Switch A

• When a paper jam sensor of a paper feed table breaks down, as a temporary measure, this dip switch can be turned on to stop the sensor.

Dip Switch B

• When the multi-feed sensor breaks down, or cannot be used because special paper is used, this dip switch can be used to stop the function of the multi-feed sensor.

Dip Switch C

• When the paper full sensor, paper ejection unit (UNIT) jam sensor, or bridge paper jam sensor breaks down, this dip switch can be used to stop the function.

Dip switches are used mainly as temporary measures. To use them, consult your service engineer.
