LOADING PAPER

Follow the steps below to load paper into the paper tray or bypass tray. For detailed information of paper types, see page 86.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

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

Open the guides wide ( , ) enough to allow easy loading of

the paper.

Load the paper.

Load the paper so that the s ide to be p rinted o r copied onto is face down into the paper tray. Push the paper to the right and rear sides of the tray.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

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

(For printing only) When loading envelopes

Set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )" setting. Load the envelope f ace down with the flap to the ri ght, and then a djust the pap er guides to the width of the envelope.

Note for loading envelopes

! When loading envelopes into the paper tray, load them in portrait direction. ! Do not use non-standard envelopes, envelopes with clasps, or window envelopes. ! Be sure to select each of Com10, DL, C6, and Invitation A2 on the paper size setting

of the printer driver. (For detailed information on printer driver, re fer to the Online Manual.)

(For printing only) When loading index cards, postcards or birthday cards

Set the paper knob to the "Thick Paper ( )" setting. Set guide up, and then fit guide and against the loaded cards.

Be sure to load in portrait direction.

Most paper and enve lopes will be fed correctly from the paper tray. Howev er, if paper or envelopes are parti cularly stiff or heavy the y should be fed one at a time through the bypass tray. This will avoid wrinkling or misfeeding.

LOADING PAPER INTO THE PAPER TRAY

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 printing.

Attach the output tray.

Place this projection toward the unit.

Pull out the output tray extension to the paper size, 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 to ensure it is even before loading

into the unit.

! The paper tray can hold up to 150 sheets of 20lbs. (75g/m

to keep the total thickness of the loaded paper stack below 15mm.

! Ensure the re i s no spa ce be twee n th e paper and the guide s and tha t th e gu id es

are not set too tight against the paper causing the paper to buckle.

! The paper knob should alw ays be set to the "Nor mal P aper ( )" setti ng except

while printing on thick paper.

! 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 tray, place it on top of the new paper. Then load it all into the paper tray. Placing new paper on top of th e paper already c ontained in the tr ay may result in feeding two sheets at one time.

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.

) plain paper. Be sure

LOADING THE BYPASS TRAY WITH PAPER

If you wish to print on ba nner paper or anothe r paper type not loaded i nto the main paper tray, use the bypass feed. Only one sheet of paper (or up to 5 sheets of banner paper (only for printing)) can be placed in the bypass tray at a time.

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

Remove some of the paper from the paper tray. If more than one sheet of paper is loaded into the body from the tray concurrently, paper supply trouble will occur. Always fan the paper and tap the stack against a flat surface before loading into the tray. If the paper guides are set too narrow for the loaded paper, the paper may not be supplied smoothly. On the other hand, if the paper guides are set too wide, the paper may be supplied crookedly. Be sure to align the guides correctly to the loaded paper.
