Loading Paper
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, and the error 
indicator blinks in red.
CAUTION
When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on 
the edges of the paper.
IMPORTANT
•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 nonstandard paper sizes into the paper drawers.
•Do not load the following types of paper into the paper drawers, as doing so may cause paper jams.
- Severely curled or wrinkled paper
- Lightweight straw paper: less than 64 g/m
2 (approximately)
- Transparencies
- Envelopes
- Labels
- Paper on which color images have been copied (Do not copy on the reverse side either.)
- Paper which has been printed on using a thermal transfer printer (Do not print on the reverse side of 
this paper either.)
•Fan the stack of paper well before loading it, and align the edges of the paper stack on a flat surface.
•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.
NOTE
•If a message prompting you to load paper appears during printing, the remaining prints are 
automatically made after you load the correct paper.
•To cancel printing, press [Cancel].
•The following paper sizes can be loaded into paper drawers 1, 2, 3, and 4:
- A3, A4, A4R, and A5

4Load the paper stack into the paper drawer.
Even out the edges of the paper stack. Load the paper 
stack against the right wall of the paper drawer.
When loading paper into the paper drawer for the first time, 
set the size plate and the paper-size detecting lever for the 
paper being loaded. (See “Adjusting a Paper Drawer to 
Hold a Different Paper Size,” in the Reference Guide.)
When loading paper into the paper drawer, make sure that 
the paper size setting of the paper drawer matches the size 
of paper. (See “Adjusting a Paper Drawer to Hold a 
Different Paper Size,” in the Reference Guide.)
IMPORTANT
•Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened 
out prior to use.
•Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not 
exceed the loading limit mark ( ) at the back of the paper 
drawer and the corners are below the paper size guide clips.
•Be sure to set the paper-size detecting lever correctly. If the 
lever is set to the wrong position, paper jams or dirty prints 
may occur, or the inside of the machine may get dirty.
NOTE
•Each paper drawer holds approximately 250 sheets of paper 
(80 g/m2).
•If there are instructions on the package of paper about which side of the paper to load, follow those 
instructions.
•When the paper is loaded into the paper drawer, the side facing up is the one printed on.
•If problems occur, such as poor print quality or paper jams, try turning the paper stack over, and reload 
it.
•For more information on the print direction of preprinted paper (paper which has logos or patterns 
already printed on it), see “Relationship between Original Orientation and Preprinted Paper Output 
Chart,” in the Reference Guide.

5Gently push the paper drawer back into the 
machine until it clicks into place in the 
closed position.
CAUTION
When returning the paper drawer to its original 
position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as 
this may result in personal injury.
IMPORTANT
You will not be able to make copies or prints if you load 
paper that exceeds the loading limit, or if the paper drawer is not completely pushed into the machine. 
Always check that the paper drawers are in place, and that the paper does not exceed the loading limit.
NOTE
If paper runs out during copying or printing, load a new paper stack, and follow the instructions on the 
touch panel display. The machine automatically restarts, and produces the remaining copies or prints.
 
						

							Replacing the Toner Cartridge2-6
Routine Maintenance

Replacing the Toner Cartridge
When there is only a small amount of toner remaining inside 
the machine, the following message appears on the touch 
panel display. You may continue printing, but it is highly 
recommended that you purchase a new toner cartridge and 
use it as when needed.
When prints can no longer be made as toner runs out 
completely, a screen showing how to replace the toner 
cartridge, like the one shown on the right, appears on the 
touch panel display. Follow the instructions shown on the 
screen.
If you press [Recover Later], you can continue operations, 
such as setting modes and scanning originals, without 
replacing the toner cartridge immediately.
WARNING
•Do not burn or throw used toner cartridges into open flames, as this may cause the toner 
remaining inside the toner cartridges to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•Do not store toner cartridges in places exposed to open flames, as this may cause the toner 
to ignite, resulting in burns or a fire.
•When discarding used toner cartridges, put the toner cartridges in a bag to prevent the toner 
remaining inside the toner cartridges from scattering, and dispose of them in a location away 
from open flames.

CAUTION
•Keep toner out of the reach of small children. If toner is ingested, consult a physician 
immediately.
•Take care not to allow toner to come into contact with your hands or clothing. If toner gets 
onto your hands or clothing, wash it off immediately with cold water. Washing it off with warm 
water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
IMPORTANT
•Use only toner cartridge recommended for use on this machine.
•Do not replace toner cartridge until the message prompting you to do so appears.
•Do not attempt to replace the toner cartridge while the machine is printing.
NOTE
•It is recommended to replace the toner cartridge soon after the message  appears.
•Complete instructions on how to replace the toner cartridge can be accessed by pressing [Previous] or 
[Next] on the touch panel display.
•If the toner runs out during a print job, the machine will start printing the remaining pages automatically 
after you replace the toner cartridge.

the arrow in the illustration on the right.
4Rock the new toner cartridge five or six 
times to distribute the toner evenly inside

as they may ignite the toner remaining inside the 
toner cartridge, and result in burns or a fire.
IMPORTANT
If the toner is not distributed evenly inside the toner 
cartridge, the printing quality may deteriorate.
