Using the Automatic Paper Feeder.
Getting Started 13
Using the Automatic Paper Feeder (APF)
Loading Paper
You can load paper, envelopes, card stocks, labels, or transparencies in the
Automatic Paper Feeder. If there is no paper loaded and you attempt to copy
or print, the error message E01 will appear in the Display. The Automatic
Paper Feeder can hold a maximum of 100 sheets of plain paper, or 10
envelopes or other print media. Depending upon media thickness, maximum
capacity may be reduced.
NOTE: If you experience problems feeding any media in the Automatic Paper
Feeder, place the media into the Manual Paper Feeder one sheet at a time.
1 Pull the Extension Tray on the Automatic Paper Feeder all the way up
until it snaps into place.
2 Prepare the print material for loading. For paper, flex paper back and
