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 the
entire stack before loading it into the tray.
• Straighten curled or warped paper before loading.
• For details about paper sizes and types, see page 43 "Supported Paper".
• You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does
not indicate a malfunction.
• If paper that is heavier than 157 g/m
reduce the number sheets of paper being fed.
• If multiple sheets of OHP transparencies or label paper are being fed at the same time, or if they
are not being fed, try feeding one sheet at a time.
• If you are printing on paper that is thick, thin, or small, it may curl or not stack properly on the
internal tray. To avoid this, remove each sheet of paper as it is output to the internal tray.
• If you load heavily curled paper, it may not be fed or a jam may occur. Straighten curled paper
before you load it or reduce the number sheets of paper that you load.
• If the edges of the printouts are dirty, wipe any dirt off of the ribs on the guide plates with a soft, dry
cloth.
