Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals Paper and Originals How you handle the originals and the paper will significantly affect the copy and print output. It is also important to know the correct handling methods and conditions, because doing so will prevent problems such as paper jamming. This section describes how to handle originals and paper. Usable Paper If you use paper that is not compatible with this machine, it may result in problems such as paper jamming, soiling or malfunctions.
Loading Paper Load paper in the feed trays and the standard tray. 4 We recommend loading the feed trays with types of paper you will use most often. Use the standard tray for the following types of paper. • • • • Load the paper. When using paper with different characteristics on the front and back sides, load the printing side face-down. Do not load too many sheets.
Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals 6 Move the stopper against the edge of the paper. 2 Spread the guides. Set the paper feed guide levers (in two positions on both sides) to unlock the guides and slide the guides. When using A4 Be sure to align the stopper against the edge of the paper. The machine determines the size of the paper based on the stopper position. 3 Load the paper. Load paper with the printing side face-up.
4 Move the guides against the edges of the paper, and push the lever to lock. The machine detects the paper size at the positions of the guides. Move the guides against the edges of the paper, and push the lever to lock. 5 Normally, keep this lever position to (NORMAL) unless you set it to (CARD) for envelopes and similar paper. 6 When you have switched to a different type or size of paper, update the feed tray settings. For details, see “Feed Tray” (p. 48).
Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals Adding or Switching Paper in the Standard Tray 2 Close the standard tray. Press the standard tray descent button when loading additional sheets or when switching paper. Note that the standard tray is automatically lowered when all paper is removed. 1 Press the standard tray descent button to lower the standard tray. Hold the button until the tray reaches the desired position. Make sure the standard tray is all the way down before closing it.
2 3 Load the paper. Load paper with the printing side face-up. • If you load many sheets at a time, you cannot adjust the paper guides. (Sheets are not in neat order because they are bent or bumpy.) Separate sheets into several loads. If you load many sheets at a time, see “If you load many sheets at a time”. • To load envelopes, leave their flaps open and load them so that they will be fed from the bottom.
Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals Adding Paper in the High Capacity Feeder To add paper, use the standard tray descent button. The downward position of the standard tray varies depending on how the standard tray descent button is pressed. The tray lowers automatically if you remove all paper from the standard tray. 1 If you add many sheets Press and hold the standard tray descent button to lower the standard tray to the bottom, and you can load more sheets.
3 4 Adjust the paper arranger. Normally, the paper arranger should be extended when printing on paper that is B4 size or smaller. How paper is stacked after printing varies depending on stiffness and other factors. Adjust the arranger as needed. Lift the paper guide (end) to stand it upright. Fold all paper guides when printing on paper larger than 320 × 432 mm (12 1/2" × 17"). 2 3 4 Lower the paper guide (end) toward the stacking tray to fold it up. Fold up the paper arranger.

If you remove only printouts 1 • You can specify the downward position of the stacking tray in [High capacity stacker] of the “Admin. Settings”. To change the downward position, contact the administrator. • At some downward positions of the stacking tray specified in [High capacity stacker] of the “Admin.
Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals 3 Close the right cover of the high capacity stacker. If you pulled out the carriage in step 2, place the carriage to the high capacity stacker, and close the right cover. 2 Fit the holes of the stacking tray on top of the knobs on the carriage. If you specify [Do not lower stacking tray.] in [High capacity stacker], and if paper is on the stacking tray, the paper guides cannot move. Therefore, the paper guides cannot adjust to the paper size of the next job.
Usable Originals When you connect the optional scanner, you can copy or scan an original by placing it on the platen glass or in the ADF to be read. If you use an original that is not compatible with this machine, it may result in problems such as paper jamming, soiling or malfunctions.
Preparations for Use >> Paper and Originals In the ADF Loading Originals On the Platen Glass Place one original at a time on the glass surface after opening the original cover. 1 2 The ADF enables continuous scanning of up to approximately 100 sheets (80 g/m2 (21-lb bond)) of originals. 1 Adjust the original guides to match the width of originals. Open the original cover. 2 Load originals face-up. Load the original face-down.
Loading Orientation of Originals and Paper When you are copying on letterhead paper, envelopes, or similar media that already has a logo printed on it, the orientation of the original and paper is important. These examples illustrate how to produce one-sided copies of a one-sided original. Example of Loading Envelopes Set [Original orientation] to [Top side left] on the touch panel.
