Preparation before Use2-272Loading PaperPaper can be loaded in the two standard cassettes and the multi purpose tray. Paper feeders are also availableas an option (refer to Optional Equipment on Appendix-2).For the paper feed methods for each cassette, refer to the page below.* The paper feed method is the same as standard cassettes 1 and 2.IMPORTANT:• The number of sheets that can be held varies depending on your environment.• You should not use inkjet printer paper or any paper with a special surface coating. (Such paper may causepaper jams or other faults.)Before Loading PaperWhen you open a new package of paper, fan the sheetsto separate them slightly prior to loading in the followingsteps.1 Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in themiddle.2 Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it whilekeeping the entire stack risen.3 Raise the right and left hands alternately to createa gap and feed air between the paper.4 Finally, align the paper on a level, flat table.If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it beforeloading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause ajam.CAUTION: If you copy onto used paper (paper already used for copying), do not use paper that is stapled orclipped together. This may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of problems.Seal any remaining paper after loading in the multi purpose tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag.If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period, protect all paper from humidity by removing it from thecassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.NOTE: Note that some paper types have a tendency to curl and may jam in the paper eject unit.If the output paper scatters or stacks unevenly, turn the paper over in the cassette, or change the orientation(vertical/horizontal) of the paper in the cassette. If that does not solve the problem, change the cassette papertype to custom 8.If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or companyname, refer to the Paper on Appendix-12.Cassette Name PageStandard Cassette 1,Cassette 2Standard cassettes 2-28Multi Purpose Tray Multi Purpose Tray 2-35Option Cassette 3,Cassette 4Paper Feeder (500-sheet x 2)* 2-28Large Capacity Feeder (1,500-sheet x 2) 2-31Cassette 5 Side Feeder (3,000-sheet) 2-34
