•
Note the following points when using the special feeder:
- Paper quantity: 1 to approximately 100 sheets (80 g/m2 / 22 lb bond, stack ap-
proximately 11 mm / 3/8" high)
- Paper sizes: 100.0 × 148.0 mm to 330.2 × 487.7 mm
- Paper sizes: 4" × 5 7/8" to 13" × 19 1/4"
- Paper Weight: 52 to 300 g/m² / 14 lb bond to 110 lb cover
- Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use, to
allow the paper to feed smoothly through the special feeder (allowable curl amount:
less than 10 mm / 3/8" for normal paper, less than 5 mm / 1/5" for heavy paper).
There are some types of paper stock that may meet the above specifications but
cannot be fed into the special feeder.
•
Do not load different size/type paper at the same time.
•
When using tracing paper or coated paper, feed the paper one sheet at a time, and
remove each sheet as it is delivered to the output tray. Loading several sheets of
paper together may cause paper jams.
•
When printing on special types of paper, such as heavy paper or transparencies,
be sure to correctly set the paper type, especially if you are using heavy paper. If
the type of paper is not set correctly, it could adversely affect the quality of the
image. Moreover, the fixing unit may become dirty and require a service repair,
or the paper could jam.
•
If you are printing on envelopes, do not allow more than 10 envelopes to accumu-
late in the output tray. Always empty the output tray once 10 envelopes have ac-
cumulated.
