2-2 Preparation for Usage
Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in the two cassettes and the MP tray. An
optional paper feeder is also available. (Refer to Chapter 4 Optional
Equipment.)
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate
them slightly prior to loading by the following steps.
1 Bend the stack of sheets and swell in the middle.
2 Hold the stack at both ends and stretch the bottom out flat while
keeping the top of the stack swelled.
3 Raise your right and left hands alternately to create a gap and let air
between the sheets.
4 Finally, even out the stack on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before loading. Paper that is
curled or folded may cause a jam.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as
dampness can cause problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading
in the MP tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag.
If the machine is not going to be used for a prolonged period, protect
paper from humidity by removing it from the cassettes and sealing it in
the paper storage bag.
Loading Paper into Cassette 1, 2
Up to 500 sheets of plain paper (80 g/m²) or colored paper (80 g/m²) may
be loaded in each of the two standard cassettes.
The following paper sizes are supported: 11 × 17", 8 1/2 × 14",
11 × 8 1/2", 8 1/2 × 11", 5 1/2 × 8 1/2", 8 1/2 × 13" (Oficio II),
8 1/2 × 13 1/2", A3, B4, A4, A4R, B5, B5R, A5R, Folio, 8K, 16K and
16KR.
IMPORTANT If you copy with used paper (paper already used for
copying), do not use paper that is stapled or clipped together. This
may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.
Note If printouts are curled or not neatly stapled, turn the stack in
the cassette upside down.
Note If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes
or paper with pre-prints such as logos or company name, refer to
the Advanced Operation Guide.
