Paper Handling
2
1
Grip the cassette handle, and pull it out
towards you until the cassette comes to a
stop.
2
Open a package of paper, and remove the
paper stack.
• If the paper is curled, uncurl it before
placing it in the cassette. Failure to do so
will cause paper creases and a paper jam.
• 17 to 20-lb bond (64 to 80 g/m
2
) paper is
acceptable.
• The cassette holds up to approximately 500
sheets of 20-lb bond (80 g/m
2
) paper.
3
Load the paper stack beneath the cassette’s
length guide ➀ and width guide’s claws ➁.
• Make sure that the paper stack does not
exceed the length and width guides’ claws
in the cassette. Failure to do so will cause a
paper jam.
• Do not load extra paper when there is still
paper left in the cassette.
• Only load one size of paper into the
cassette. Do not load different sizes of
paper into the cassette at the same time.
• Do not load labels or transparencies into
the cassette.
4
Gently insert the cassette as far as it will
go.
• The cassette is for plain paper, colored
paper or recycled paper only. Loading
other paper in the cassette may cause a
paper jam.
• If copies are curled, or a paper jam occurs,
remove the paper stack from the cassette.
Turn it over and then place it in the
cassette.
• If you load paper while making copies, do
not load a different paper size.
