1-30 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents TRAY SETTINGS FOR TRAY 1 TO 4 LOADING PAPER AND CHANGING THE PAPER SIZE A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from size 5-1/2 x 8-1/2R to size 11 x 17 (A5R to A3) can be loaded in trays 1 and 2. A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from size 7-1/4 x 10-1/2R to size 11 x 17 (B5R to A3) can be loaded in trays 3 and 4. 1 Pull out the paper tray. Gently pull the tray out until it stops. To load paper, go to step 3. To load a different size of paper, go to the next step. 2 Adjust the guide plates A and B by squeezing their lock levers and sliding them to match the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the paper to be loaded. The guide plates A and B are slidable. Slide each guide plate while squeezing its lock lever. 3 Fan the paper. Fan the paper well before loading it. If the paper is not fanned, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed. 4 Insert the paper into the tray. Load the paper with the print side face up. The stack must not be higher than the indicator line (maximum of 500 sheets). A B Indicator line
1-31 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents 5 Gently push the paper tray into the machine. Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine. If you loaded a different type or size of paper than was loaded previously, be sure to change the Paper Tray Settings in the system settings. If these settings are not configured correctly, automatic paper selection will not operate correctly and printing may take place on the wrong size or type of paper, or a misfeed may occur. Do not place heavy objects on the tray or press down on the tray. System Settings: Paper Tray Settings (page 7-13) Change these settings when you change the size or type of paper loaded in a tray.
1-32 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents TRAY SETTINGS OF TRAY 5 (LARGE CAPACITY TRAY) LOADING PAPER The large capacity tray can hold up to 3500 sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 or A4 size paper (20 lbs.

1-34 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents LOADING PAPER IN THE BYPASS TRAY The bypass tray can be used to print on plain paper, envelopes, label sheets, tab paper, and other special media. Up to 100 sheets of paper can be loaded (up to 40 sheets of heavy paper) for continuous printing similar to the other trays. 1 Open the bypass tray. When loading paper larger than 8-1/2 x 11R or A4R, be sure to pull out the bypass tray extension. Pull the bypass tray extension all the way out. If the bypass tray extension is not pulled all the way out, the size of the loaded paper will not be correctly displayed. Do not place heavy objects on the bypass tray or press down on the tray. 2 Set the bypass tray guides to the width of the paper. 3 Insert the paper along the bypass tray guides all the way into the bypass tray until it stops. Load the paper with the print side face down. Do not force the paper in. If the bypass tray guides are set wider than the paper, move the bypass tray guides in until they correctly fit the width of the paper. If the bypass guides are set too wide, the paper may skew or be creased.
1-35 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents IMPORTANT POINTS WHEN USING THE BYPASS TRAY When using plain paper other than SHARP standard paper or special media other than SHARP-recommended transparency film, or when printing on the reverse side of previously used paper, the paper must be loaded one sheet at a time. Loading more than one sheet at a time will cause misfeeds. Before loading paper, straighten any curling in the paper. When adding paper, remove any paper remaining in the bypass tray, combine it with the paper to be added, and reload as a single stack. If paper is added without removing the remaining paper, a misfeed may result. Inserting paper Inserting tab paper To print on tab paper, load tab paper in the bypass tray with the print side face down. Inserting transparency film Place paper that is 7-1/4 x 10-1/2 (A5) or smaller in the horizontal orientation. Use only tab paper that is made of paper. Tab paper made of a material other than paper (film, etc.) cannot be used. To print on the tabs of tab paper... In copy mode, use Tab Copy in the special modes. In print mode, use the tab print function. Use SHARP-recommended transparency film. When inserting transparency film in the bypass tray, the rounded corner should be at the front left when the film is oriented horizontally, or at the far left when the film is oriented vertically. When loading multiple sheets of transparency film in the bypass tray, be sure to fan the sheets several times before loading. When printing on transparency film, be sure to remove each sheet as it exits the machine. Allowing sheets to stack in the output tray may result in curling. Face down HorizontallyVertically
1-36 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents Loading envelopes When inserting envelopes in the bypass tray, place them aligned to the left side in the orientation shown below. Only the front side of envelopes can be printed on. Be sure to place the front side face down. Important points when using envelopes Do not print on both sides of an envelope. This may result in misfeeds or poor print quality. Restrictions apply to some types of envelopes. For more information, consult a qualified service technician. Some operating environments may cause creasing, smudging, misfeeds, poor toner fusing, or machine failure. Do not use the following envelopes: Envelopes with metal clasps, plastic hooks, or ribbon hooks; envelopes closed with string, envelopes with windows or backing, envelopes with an uneven front surface due to embossing, double-layer envelopes, envelopes with an adhesive for sealing, hand-made envelopes, envelopes with air inside, envelopes with creases or fold marks, torn or damaged envelopes Envelopes with an incorrectly aligned corner gluing position on the back cannot be used as creasing may result. Print quality is not guaranteed in the area 13/32 (10 mm) around the edges of the envelope. Print quality is not guaranteed on parts of envelopes where there is a large step-like change of thickness, such as on four-layer parts or parts less than three layers. Print quality is not guaranteed on envelopes having peel off flaps for sealing the envelopes. Can be used Cannot be used

1-38 BEFORE USING THE MACHINE Contents 1 Make sure an original does not remain on the document glass. Open the automatic document feeder, make sure that an original is not on the document glass, and then gently close the automatic document feeder. 2 Adjust the original guides to the size of the originals. 3 Place the original. Make sure the edges of the originals are even. Insert the originals face up all the way into the document feeder tray. Insert a number of originals that does not exceed the indicator line on the document feeder tray. MX-4100N: Up to 100 sheets can be inserted. MX-4101N/5001N: Up to 150 sheets can be inserted. Be sure to remove originals that have been finished scanning from the original exit tray. Originals of different sizes can be placed together in the automatic document feeder. In this case, select Mixed Size Original in the special modes of the mode you are using. Before inserting originals into the document feeder tray, be sure to remove any staples or paper clips. If originals have damp spots due to correction fluid, ink or pasteup glue, wait until the originals are dry before making copies. Otherwise the interior of the document feeder or the document glass may be soiled. Do not use the following originals. Incorrect original size detection, original misfeeds, and smudges may result. Transparency film, tracing paper, carbon paper, thermal paper or originals printed with thermal transfer ink ribbon should not be fed through the document feeder. Originals to be fed through the feeder should not be damaged, crumpled, folded, loosely pasted together, or have cut-out holes. Originals with multiple punched holes other than two-hole or three-hole punched paper may not feed correctly. When using originals with two or three holes, place them so that the punched edge is at a position away from the feed slot of the document feeder tray. 1 1 Indicator line Hole positions Feed slot
