Loading paper
This laser printer supplies paper to the printer by feeding paper into
the unit automatically from one of four universal cassettes.
Universal cassette
The universal cassette can be used to feed the following paper
sizes: A3T, B4T, A4T/Y, A5T, B5T/Y, B6T, LedgerT, LegalT,
LetterT/Y, ExecutiveT/Y, InvoiceT, 7 x 8 1⁄2". (T means lengthwise
feeding and Y means crosswise feeding.) See Appendix A for more
information on paper sizes. 350 sheets of paper can be loaded in
each of the 4 universal cassettes.
NOTE: B5Y and B6T feed from upper 3 cassettes only.
1. Pull the universal cassette out as far as it will go from the
cabinet.
Inch
Metric
USA only
Swing up the lift-up plate release lever to lower the paper lift-up
plate in the cassette.
2. Change the switch position located on the rear right side in
the cassette, depending on the paper size to be used.
Switch to “Metric” when paper size is A3T, B4T, A4T/Y,
B5T/Y, A5T, or B6T.*
All trays must be set to “Metric” if the
previous paper sizes are used.
Switch to “Inch” when paper size is 11 x 17" (LedgerT),
8-1/2 x 14" (LegalT), 8-1/2 x 11" (LetterT/Y), 7-1/4 x 10-1/2"

3. While holding the cassette, depress and spread the front paper
guide wider than the paper size to be used.
4. Slide the green resin plate of the right paper guide toward the
right side wider than the paper size to be used.
NOTE: Be sure to slide the resin plate and not to hold the lever
part, as that may bend it.
5. When you load the ledgerT size paper, slide the right paper
guide all the way to the right side and remove the lever by
depressing it from the both sides. And insert the edges of the
lever in the position shown in the illustration.
6. Align the stack of paper and set the paper in the cassette with
the sealed surface down. While holding the cassette, slide
and fit the front and right paper guides to the paper edges.

Installation environment
Select the proper environment for using the printer to obtain the
optimum service from your printer. It should NOT be placed in a
location:
— which is exposed to direct sunlight.
— which is in the direct air stream of a cooler, heater, or
ventilator.
— where the temperature and the humidity are extremely high or
low. The room temperature should be 10–35°C (50–95°F) and
humidity should be 15–85% RH.
— which does not have a stable, level floor.
— which could easily get wet.
— which has poor ventilation and where ammonia gas might be
generated.
— which is far from a power supply.
NOTE: Please contact your service representative when you need to
move the printer to another place.
Power source
Before connecting the power cord of the printer to the outlet, check
the following items:
— Only connect to a dedicated electrical socket-outlet.
— Use the printer in a place which is near an electrical outlet
and where there is little voltage fluctuation. (The power
supply voltage should be specified voltage ±10% for imaging
and +10% or -15% for feeding. The power supply frequency
should be specified ±1 Hz.)
— Do not plug the power cord into a multi-socket extension
cord.
— At frequent intervals, check to see that the power plug is not
abnormally hot, that there are not any cracks or scrapes on
the cord, and that the power plug is fully inserted into the
socket.
— Be sure to use an outlet made for a 3-pin plug.
