Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded standardly in the two cassettes and the multi purpose tray. A paper feeder is also available 
as an option (refer to Optional Equipment on Appendix-2).
Before Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets 
to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following 
steps.
1Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in the 
middle.
2Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it while 
keeping the entire stack swelled.
3Raise the right and left hands alternately to create 
a gap and feed air between the papers.
4Finally, align the papers on a level, flat table.
If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before 
loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a 
jam.
CAUTION: 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 machine or 
cause poor image quality.
NOTE: If printouts are curled or not neatly stapled, 
turn the stack in the  cassette upside down.
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 the cassettes and  sealing it in the paper 
storage bag.
NOTE: If you use special paper such as letterhead, 
paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or 
company name, refer to  the Paper on Appendix-10 .

IMPORTANT: 
• Before loading the paper, be sure that it is not 
curled or folded. Paper that is curled or folded may 
cause paper jams.
• Ensure that the loaded paper does not exceed the  level indicator (see illustration below).
• When loading the paper, keep the side that was  closest the package seal facing up.
• The paper length and width guides must be  adjusted to the paper size. Loading the paper 
without adjusting these guides may cause skewed 
feeding and paper jams.
• Be sure that the paper length and width guides rest  securely against the pape r. If there is a gap, 
readjust the guides  to fit the paper.
