stronger by pressing the ▲ button or weaker with the ▼ button. Three settings are available.
However, even if you increase the suction, it may not be sufficient to hold some types of paper against
the Platen well. In this case, use your hand to load the paper.
•
Sheets are held in place by suction through holes on the Platen. Although the suction may produce a
noise when paper is loaded in some positions, it does not indicate a problem. If the noise is distracting,
try moving the paper over slightly to the left or right (up to 1 mm [0.039 in]) while keeping it parallel to the
Paper Alignment Line.
•
The suction remains on for about 30 seconds during loading. If you cannot finish loading a sheet during
this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the suction again.
