							9. Adding Paper and Toner
This chapter describes how to load paper into the paper tray and recommended paper sizes and types.
Precautions for Loading Paper
• When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers.
• Do not stack paper over the limit mark.
• To prevent multiple sheets from being fed at once, fan the paper before loading it.
• If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them with the new sheets of paper, and then fan theentire stack before loading it into the tray.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• For details about the paper sizes and types that can be used, see page 146 "Recommended Paper Sizes and Types".
• You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does not indicate a malfunction.
Fanning the Paper
• If you load coated paper, label paper, OHP transparencies, or thick paper of 150.1–300.0 g/m 2
(55.1 lb. Cover–165.0 lb. Index) in the wide LCT, it is important that you fan the sheets thoroughly.
Misfeeds may occur if paper is not fanned thoroughly.

							Loading Paper into Trays 2 and 3
Each paper tray is loaded in the same way.
In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 2.
• Check the paper edges are aligned at the right side.
• If a paper tray is pushed vigorously when putting it back into place, the position of the tray's side fences may slip out of place.
• When loading a low number of sheets, be sure not to squeeze the side fences in too tightly. If the side fences are squeezed too tightly against the paper, the edges may crease, the paper may
misfeed, or if it weighs between 52.3–65.9g/m 2
 (14.0–17.9 lb. Bond), it may wrinkle.
