Operational Precautions
Up to 50 sheets of paper (64 g/m
✓
Loading too much paper can lead to problems that damage the auto sheet
feeder mechanism.
Use only single-ply paper. Never use multi-part forms or label paper.
✓
Printing may become misaligned when only two or three sheets of paper
✓
are left in the hopper. To avoid this, always make sure that there is enough
paper in the hopper. When replenishing paper, remove any leftover sheets,
stack it with the new paper, and fan the entire stack before placing it in the
hopper.
Do not use any paper that is folded or wrinkled. Use new paper whenever
✓
possible. Avoid reusing paper.
Remove all the paper from the hopper if you do not plan to perform any
✓
printing for a long time. Paper left in the printer for a long time can bend or
become deformed.
Cleaning
The automatic sheet feeder is designed to provide many years of reliable
operation. To ensure optimum performance, you should periodically remove the
automatic sheet feeder from the printer and clean any dirt and dust that may
have accumulated. Use a soft cloth dampened with alcohol to clean the platen
and automatic sheet feeder roller.
