Precautions for Maintenance
This category describes precautions for performing routine maintenance, such as loading paper. We recommend that you read
this category prior to performing routine maintenance.
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
When closing the cover, or pushing the unit back into the machine, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in
personal injury.
Do not load the following types of paper into the paper drawers, Multi-Purpose Tray, and optional document insertion unit. Doing so may cause
a paper jam.
Insertion sheets with tears
Severely curled or wrinkled paper
Thin straw paper
Heavy paper (more than 140 lb index (256 g/m
2
))
Clipped or stapled insertion sheets
Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side of this paper either.)
Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out before loading it.
Rewrap any remaining paper in its original package, and store it in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.
If you print on the paper which has absorbed moisture, steam may come out from the output area of the machine. This is because the moist on
the paper evaporates when the high temperature is applied when toner is fixed to the paper. It is not a malfunction. (This especially happens in
low room temperature.)
Before loading paper, always fan the sheets several times, and align the edges to facilitate feeding. Also, you should always fan paper that has
just been removed from a newly opened paper package.
Before loading paper into the optional document insertion unit, always fan the sheets several times, and align the edges to facilitate feeding.
Fan the stack of paper well before loading it. Paper such as thin paper, recycled paper, prepunched paper, heavy paper, transparencies, and tab
papers should be fanned particularly well before loading it.
If there are instructions on the package of paper about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions.
If problems occur, such as poor print quality or paper jams, try turning the paper stack over, and reload it.
For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns already printed on it), see Chapter 17,
