Loading Paper

Paper can be loaded into either the cassette or the multi-bypass tray. For details on paper that can
be used, refer to Appendix in Advanced Operation Guide, Paper.

Note for Adding Paper

After taking new paper out of its packaging, be sure to
fan through the paper a few times to separate the
sheets before loading that paper into the cassette or
the multi-bypass tray.

Set the paper in the cassette with the side which faced
the top of its packaging facing up.

Important! • When using paper that has been run through a machine before, check it to make sure that all

staples and paper clips have been removed. Not doing so may result in poor images or
malfunctions.

• Straighten out any creases or curls in the paper before loading it. Failure to straighten out
creases and curls may lead to paper jams.

• Leaving paper out of its package under high
temperature and high humidity conditions may
lead to problems caused by ambient moisture.
After loading paper into the cassette, store the
remaining paper sealed in the paper storage bag.
Also if any paper remains in the multi-bypass tray,
store the paper sealed in the paper storage bag.
Before leaving the machine in disuse for a
prolonged period of time, remove the paper from
the cassette and seal it in the paper storage bag to
protect it from moisture.

2-1

Preparations

Loading Paper into the Cassette

Standard paper, recycled paper, and colored paper can be loaded into the cassette. Up to 300
sheets of standard paper (80 g/m²) or 100 sheets of thick paper (90 to 105 g/m²) can be set.

Paper sizes that can be loaded are: A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5R, Folio, 11 × 17" (Ledger),

1/2 × 14" (Legal), 11 × 8 1/2", 8 1/2 × 11" (Letter), 5 1/2 ×81/ 2" (Statement), 8 1/2 × 13" (Oficio II), 8K,

8
and 16K.

Important! Specify the type of paper that is loaded into the cassette (standard, recycled, etc.). For the method

of setting, refer to Chapter 3 in Advanced Operation Guide, Paper Type (cassettes 1 to 4).

Pull the cassette out toward you as far as it will go.

width guides to the paper size.

Important! Make sure that the width guides are flush against the paper. If there is space between the guides

and the paper, set the width guides again.

Note The paper sizes are impressed in the cassette.

2-2

Grasp the paper length adjusting tab and adjust the

4

length guide to the paper size.

Important! • Make sure that the length guide is flush against

the paper. If there is space between the guide and
the paper, set the length guide again.

• When setting 11 × 17" (Ledger) paper, move the
paper length guide to the right end and push it
down as shown in the illustration.

Note The paper sizes are impressed in the cassette.

Preparations

Set the paper straight from the upper part.

Important! • Be careful not to bend or crease the paper when

inserting it into the cassette. Creases in the paper
may lead to paper jams.

• The maximum paper limit indicator A is provided
on a paper width guide. Make sure that the paper
loaded is below the maximum paper limit indicator.

• When loading paper into the cassette, set it with
the side which faced the top of its packaging
facing up.

• Be sure to adjust the width and length guides to
the paper size before loading the paper. Failure to do so may result in paper skewing or
jamming.

• If the length and width guides are not flush against the paper, a size that is different from the
actual size may be displayed on the message display.

• When the paper has become wrinkled from moisture and cannot be fed, set the paper so that
the wrinkled side is toward the length guide.

factory default setting time is 30 minutes.

Time that can be set:

Inch Specification — 1 to 240 minutes (in 1 minute increments)

Metric Specification — 1 to 120 minutes (in 1 minute increments)

Copiers and printers are generally in a standby mode more than they are in actual operation, so
power consumption in the standby mode occupies a large part of overall consumption.
Automatically putting the machine in a resting state reduces unnecessary power consumption in the
standby mode, resulting in a lower electricity bill.

Note To change the time that elapses until the auto sleep function is activated, refer to Chapter 3 in

Advanced Operation Guide, Auto Sleep Time.

Job Separator

This unit is used to separate paper output destinations
for easy classification. Copies are output to the output
tray, and printer output is ejected onto the job separator
tray. Also the output destinations can be specified.

On the front side of the machine, a paper indicator is
provided for showing that there is paper on the job
separator tray.

Important! • Note that a paper jam may occur at the output section due to paper curling depending on the

paper type.

• If finished papers come out curled or are stacked unevenly, turn the paper in the cassette over
and set it again.

Notes • To output paper onto the job separator, change the

setting in the machine default settings (copier) or
the paper settings (printer). (For details, refer to

Chapter 2 in Advanced Operation Guide,
