3. Adjust the stack of paper by jog­ging it on a flat surface. Insert the documents vertically, facing the user. When feeding 2 do­cuments, the sheet containing the address must always be loaded into tray A.
4. Lock the lateral guides and the blue locking levers.
Automatic feeding
- Avoid mixing documents of different sizes and weights (thickness) in the same tray.
- In case of documents particularly difficult to handle (uneven, smooth, rough or sticky), use half of the capacity of the feeder
10/10/2003
Curled documents: Some laser printers curl the paper excessively. We recommend flattening the printed paper manually before inserting it into the machine.
If the job consists of a single document, tray A and tray B can be loaded : the second tray will start automatically when the first one is empty.

3. CLEANING
3.1 Cleaning the rollers
The cleaning of the rollers offers the following benefits:
- Improved paper take-up from the document, small insert and envelope trays,
- Reduced risk of paper jams,
- Preserves the roller material.
To ensure optimal working of the machine, we recommend to clean all rollers at the same time. This operation will take approximately ten minutes (time required for the rollers to dry) It is necessary to remove all the documents from all the trays (including envelopes) before starting.
