Loading Paper
This section describes how to load paper.
Loading Paper into a Paper Drawer
If the selected paper runs out, or the selected paper drawer runs out of paper during printing, a screen prompting you to load
paper appears on the touch panel display.
Follow the procedure below to load paper into the paper drawers.
When handling paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.
• A screen prompting you to load paper also appears if the selected paper drawer is not fully inserted into the machine. Make
sure that the paper drawer is properly in place.
• Do not load the following types of paper into the paper drawers. Doing so may cause a paper jam.
• Severely curled or wrinkled paper
• Thin straw paper
• Transparencies
• Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer
• The reverse side of paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer
• Make sure that you fan the sheets of paper well before placing them. Recycled paper, pre-punched paper, and heavy paper
should be fanned particularly well before loading it.
• Never place paper or any other items in the empty part of the drawer next to the paper stack. Doing so may cause paper jams.
• When you are printing in the Staple mode, do not remove the output sheets that are waiting to be stapled. (Printing and
stapling resume after you clear the paper jam.)
• Register the size and type of the loaded paper in [Paper Settings] in [Preferences] (Settings/Registration).
• You can use custom paper sizes. For more information, see e-Manual > Settings/Registration > Registering/Editing/Deleting
