LOADING PAPER

Follow the steps below to load paper into the paper tray or bypass tray. You can load plain paper and othe r special paper. For detailed information on paper type, see page 65.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

Remove the output tray , and open the front lid of paper tray .

Adjust the guides and shown in the illustration to the width

of the paper.

Load the paper.

Load the paper so that the side to be copied onto is face down. Make sure to push the paper to the right side and the rear side of the tray.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

Move the guides ( , ) to touch the edges of the paper.

When loading thick paper

Set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )" setting.

Most paper will be fed correctly from the paper tray. However, if paper is particularly sti ff or heavy, it sho uld be fed one at a time through th e bypass tray. This will avoid wrinkling or misfeeding.

Close the front lid of the paper tray by firmly pushing on it’s

right edge.

If the length of the paper is longer than the tray, keep the front lid of the tray open while copying.

Attach the output tray.

Place this projection toward the unit.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

Pull out the output tray extension to the proper position, and

then raise the paper stop guide.

! Be sure that paper is free of rips, dust, wrinkles, and curled or bent edges. ! Make sure all the paper in the stack is the same size and type. ! Fan the paper and tap it against a flat surface before loading into the unit.

! The paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 75g/m

to keep total thickness of the loaded paper stack below 15mm (0.59").

! When loading paper, ensure there is no space between the paper and the guide,

and check if the gu ide is not set too narro w causing t he paper to ben t. Loading paper in these ways will result in document skew or a paper jam.

! The paper knob should alw ays be set to the "Nor mal P aper ( )" s etting exc ept

unless while printing on thick paper.

After loading the different type or size of paper from previous ones, change the corresponding settings referring to step 3 of "NORMAL COPYING". (See page 31)

! When not using the unit for an extended period, remove all paper from the paper

tray and store it in a dry p lace. If paper is l eft in the unit for an extende d period, the paper will absorb moisture from the air, resulting in paper jams.

! When adding new paper to the paper tray, remove the old paper already

contained in the unit, add it onto the new paper. Then load into the paper tra y. Placing new paper on top of the pap er stack already contain ed in the tray may result in feeding two sheets at one time.

(20lbs.) plain paper. Be sure

LOADING THE BYPASS TRAY WITH PAPER

If you wish to print on another paper type not loaded into the main paper tray, use the bypass feed. Only one sheet of paper can be placed in the bypass tray at a time.

Open the bypass tray located on the rear of the unit.

Load the paper so that the side to be copied onto is face up.

Align the paper with the right side of the bypass tray.

When loading thick paper

Open the bypass tray until it reaches position 2 (the tray has two positions), set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )"setting. Load the thick paper copy side up with the flap to the r ight, and then adjus t the opposite side to the right edge of the tray.

Position 1

Position 2

! The paper knob should a lways b e se t to th e "Normal paper ( )" setti ng exc ept

while printing on thick paper.

After loading the different type or size of paper from previous ones, change the corresponding settings referring to step 3 of "NORMAL COPYING". (See page 31)

The original image must be sm al ler than the paper in the tray. If the original ima ge is larger than the paper, th is may cause s mudges on t he edges of the o utput a nd may make the machine dirty inside.
