Preparing to Copy
2-2
Loading Paper
Load paper in the four cassettes, the MP tray and/or the optional side feeder. For details on the
types of paper supported, refer to Paper in the Appendix of the Advanced Operation Guide.
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan through
the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before
loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause paper
jams.
IMPORTANT: If you copy onto used paper (paper
already used for copying), do not use paper that is
stapled or clipped together. This may damage the
copier or cause poor image quality.
When loading paper in a cassette, keep the side
toward the sealed side facing down. When loading
paper in the MP tray, keep the side toward the sealed
side facing up.
Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures
and high humidity as dampness may cause copying
problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading the
MP tray or a cassette in its original package. If the
copier will not be used for a prolonged period, protect
all paper from humidity by removing from the cassettes
and sealing in the original package.
Loading Paper in Cassettes 1 and 2
Cassettes 1 and 2 support standard and recycled paper. Up to 1,500 sheets of standard paper
(80 g/m²) may be loaded in each cassette.
The cassettes support 11 × 8
1/2" or A4 paper.
IMPORTANT: Specify the type of paper loaded in the cassettes. Refer to Specifying the Paper Type
on page 2-9 for details.
