Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in the two cassettes and the MP tray. An
optional paper feeder is also available. (Refer to Chapter 4 Optional Equipment.)
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate
them slightly prior to loading by the following steps.
1Bend the stack of sheets and swell in the middle.
2Hold the stack at both ends and stretch the bottom out flat while
keeping the top of the stack swelled.
3Raise your right and left hands alternately to create a gap and let air
between the sheets.
4Finally, even out the stack on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before loading. Paper that is
curled or folded may cause a jam.
IMPORTANT If you copy with used paper (paper already used for
copying), do not use paper that is stapled or clipped together. This
may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.
Note If printouts are curled or not neatly stapled, turn the stack in
the cassette upside down.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as
dampness can cause problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading
in the MP tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag.
If the machine is not going to be used for a prolonged period, protect
paper from humidity by removing it from the cassettes and sealing it in
the paper storage bag.
Note If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes
or paper with pre-prints such as logos or company name, refer to
the Advanced Operation Guide.
Loading Paper into Cassette 1, 2
Up to 500 sheets of plain paper (80 g/m²) or colored paper (80 g/m²) may
be loaded in each of the two standard cassettes.
The following paper sizes are supported: 11 × 17", 8 1/2 × 14",
11 × 8 1/2", 8 1/2 × 11", 5 1/2 × 8 1/2", 8 1/2 × 13" (Oficio II),
8 1/2 × 13 1/2", A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5R, Folio, 8K, 16K and
16KR.
2-2Preparation for Usage
IMPORTANT When using media types other than plain paper (such
as recycled or colored paper), always specify the media type setting.
(Refer to Specifying the Media Type for the Cassettes on page 2-8.)
The cassettes can hold 60 to 120
g/m² paper. When using 120 g/m²
paper, specify [Thick paper] for Specifying the Media Type for the Cassettes on page 2-8. If the media type setting is wrong, paper jams
and deterioration of copy quality may occur.
1 Pull the cassette out toward you until it stops.
Note Do not pull out more than one cassette at a time.
2 Holding the paper width adjusting tab, move the paper width guides
to fit the paper.
Note Paper sizes are marked on the cassette.
3 Adjust the paper length guide to the length of the paper.
Note Paper sizes are indicated on the cassettes.
To change between inch size and metric size (A, B sizes),

Preparation for Usage2-3
4 Align the paper flush against the left side of the cassette.
IMPORTANT Before loading the paper, be sure that it is not
curled or folded. Paper that is curled or folded may cause paper
jams.
Ensure that the loaded paper does not exceed the level indicator
(see the figure).
When loading the paper, keep the side that was closest the
package seal facing up.
The paper length and width guides must be adjusted to the paper
size. Loading the paper without adjusting these guides may cause
skewed feeding and paper jams.
Be sure that the paper length and width guides rest securely
against the paper. If there is a gap, readjust the guides to fit the
paper.
5 Insert the appropriate paper size card in the slot to indicate the size
of the paper inside.
6 Gently push the cassette back in.
Note If the machine is not going to be used for a prolonged
period, protect paper from humidity by removing it from the
cassettes and sealing it in the original package.
