Chapter 2 Setting Up 2-17
Setting Up
• The capacity of the output tray is 50 sheets of paper. To prevent paper jams, remove
paper from the output tray before the count reaches 50.
• Let the paper run out before refilling the multi-purpose tray. Avoid mixing new stock
with paper already loaded.
• Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time since it
may bend or curl and cause problems.
• Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, can
cause some print media to misfeed in the multi-purpose tray. If you have trouble, feed
one sheet at a time.
• Depending on the density of the printed pages, the ink may need time to dry. Within
two or three seconds, the ink becomes smudge resistant. After drying for several
minutes, the ink becomes water-resistant.
• If your printed page contains a large amount of graphics, the ink on the page may be
damp due to the print density. Leave the page in the output tray for 30 to 60 seconds
to allow the ink to dry. Then remove the page carefully without touching any surfaces.
• Printing dense graphics on light paper stock may cause the paper to curl. Try using
heavier stock.
• If paper curls after printing, remove it immediately; otherwise paper jams may occur.
• The platen (a roller inside the unit) may become inked if you print data beyond the
width of the page. If this happens, clean inside the unit. (1 p. 12-3)
