Introduction

Introduction

The Large-Large-Capacity Input Tray (LLCIT) for your QMS 3825/
3225 Print System allows you to load 2,500 sheets of paper at a time,
in letter, legal, ledger, A3, A4, and B4 sizes.

Installing the LLCIT

The LLCIT must be installed by a QMS-authorized service represen­tative. See appendix A, “QMS Customer Support,” in your printer
manual if you do not know how to reach your service contact.

Moving the Printer

Because the LLCIT holds a heavy load, it has a metal prop plate at
the back corner for added support. The prop plate helps prevent the
printer from tipping, even when the LLCIT is fully loaded. If you need
to move the printer, you must

■

Remove the paper from the LLCIT

■

Remove the prop plate to avoid damage to the printer or the floor

To remove the prop plate, simply remove the two screws holding it in
place. The prop plate slips off easily. Reinstall the prop plate as soon
as the printer is in its new location.

Be careful not to tip the printer while moving it.

WARNING!

from place to place, you must remove the metal prop plate from under the
back corner of the LLCIT. Be careful not to tip the printer while moving it.

ACHTUNG!

müssen Sie die Metallstütze unter der hinteren Ecke des LLCIT entfernen.
Achten Sie beim Verschieben darauf, daß das Drucksystem nicht kippt.

Introduction

Large-Large-Capacity Input Tray Indicators

The Large-Large-Capacity Input Tray (LLCIT) has step-by-step
instruction illustrations, a button to lower the interior tray , and an error
light to alert you to any condition that requires your attention.

Instruction Illustrations

Tray Down Button

Error Light

Once you know how to load paper from
reading this manual, the step-by-step
illustrations will help you remember in what
order to perform the various steps.

Press this button to lower the paper tray inside
the LLCIT. The tray must be at the bottom
position before you can load paper.

If the printer runs out of paper, the tray lowers
automatically.

This button lights when the tray is in motion.

This red light comes on if paper is loaded
incorrectly, if the paper size does not match the
tray’s setting, or if the LLCIT door is open.

Selecting a Paper Size

Changing the paper size for the LLCIT requires special care to avoid
damaging electrical connections. We recommend that you

✓

Evaluate your printing needs and choose one size for the
LLCIT

✓

Have the service representative set the LLCIT for that size
during installation

✓

Do not alter the size setting

» Note: Only a qualified QMS service technician should change the LLCIT size

settings. Service instructions for changing the paper size begin on page 4. If
you damage the printer or the Large-Large-Capacity Input Tray while
changing the size settings, it will affect your warranty.

Adding Paper to the LLCIT

Adding Paper to the LLCIT

The LLCIT holds up to 2,500 sheets of paper in letter, legal, ledger,
A3, A4, and B4 sizes. Once the size is set, add paper of the same
size and orientation as the paper that was previously loaded.

» Note: Only a qualified QMS service technician should change the LLCIT paper

size. Service instructions begin on page 4. If you damage the printer or the
Large-Large-Capacity Input Tray while changing the size settings, it will
affect your warranty.

To add paper to the LLCIT

1 Remove the upper and lower input bins.
2 Push the Tray Down button to lower the interior paper tray.

The tray moves slowly.

3 When the light stops flashing, open the LLCIT door and lift

the clear plastic lid.

4 Remove and discard the top and bottom sheets from the new

paper supply.

Top and bottom sheets sometimes have traces of glue which can
cause jams.

5 Follow the paper manufacturer’s instructions as to which

side of the paper should be printed on first.

Printing on the proper side first helps prevent excessive paper
curl, which is especially important if you are using the optional
Large-Capacity Output Stacker (LCOS). The paper wrapper usu­ally has an arrow to indicate which side to print on first. Load
paper so the arrow points up.

6 Bow the paper slightly to insert it into the bin, and slide it in

until it is aligned with the innermost edge of the bin.

» Note: Make sure to use the same size paper in the same orientation as

you were using before.

7 Close the lid, and shut the door until it snaps.
8 Wait for the paper tray to reach its uppermost position.
