Loading Paper

• Pull open the tray you wish to load until it reaches the stop or

remove it completely for more convenient loading.

• Make sure that the right paper guide is in the LOAD position by

firmly pushing it to its right stop.

• Obtain a fresh ream of paper. Hold the ream on the long edge

and bend it in and out. Repeat on the short edge. Square it off

properly (Fig. 25).

• Insert approx. one third of the ream in the tray and ensure that

all paper is lined up nicely. Repeat that two more times to fill

the tray.

• Load the paper face down, with its top edge towards the right

(DIN A4 and US Letter size, long edge feeding LEF).

• Push down the stack, such that all sheets are under the

separation corners (Fig. 26).

• Push the right paper guide with its separation corner tab to the

left to ensure proper guiding of the stock (Fig. 27). There

should be no gap between the paper guide and the stock.

• Push down on the paper stack a few times. The paper must

move up and down freely.

• Close the tray. Repeat the procedure for all trays to be loaded.

Note 1: The right paper guide can be adjusted within

approx. ± 1mm (± .04") by pushing the separation corner

tab to the left and right (FEED and LOAD) position as

indicated on the yellow label the tray (Fig. 27).

Note 2: A gap between the right paper guide and the

stock can lead to unreliable feeding and jams inside the

tray. The adjustment of the right paper guide as described

above is mandatory to ensure reliable feeding.

Note 3: For duplex printing the paper is loaded face up.

A second tray eliminates the need to reload the paper

when using the same paper for both simplex and duplex

printing.

Note 4: The tray loading capacity for 80 g/m

paper is

500 sheets. Overloading the tray may lead to paper jams.
