2 Paper and Other Media

The machine is designed to use various paper types and other media. This chapter
provides information on loading paper and other types of media into the machine.

Loading Paper

The machine can be equipped with various paper trays. Depending on the machine
configuration, up to six paper trays are available including the Envelope Tray. This
section provides information on how to load paper into each type of tray.
NOTE: Make sure the side and rear paper guides on the trays are properly positioned
to match the size of paper loaded. If there is a gap between the paper stack and the
guides, paper may not be fed into the machine properly, or paper jams may occur.
For information on the paper sizes and media types for each tray, refer to
Paper Sizes and Types on page 23
For information on the acceptable range of paper sizes and capacity for each tray, refer
Paper Supply in the Appendix chapter on page 433.

Preparing Paper for Loading

Before loading paper into the paper trays, fan the edges. This procedure separates any
sheets of paper that are stuck together and reduces the possibility of paper jams.
NOTE: To avoid paper jams and misfeeds, do not remove paper from its packaging
until required.
Trays 1 & 2/Two Tray Module (Trays 3 & 4)
Trays 1 to 4 can be loaded with standard and non-standard sized paper.
NOTE: If the machine is processing a job, do not open the active paper tray.
1.
Pull out the paper tray towards
you.
NOTE: To avoid jams and misfeeds,
do not load paper on top of any
remaining paper in the tray. Remove
the paper, and reload it on top of the
new stock loaded.
2.
If required, move the paper tray
guides further out to load the
new stock.
To adjust the side and rear
guides, pinch the guide lever on
each guide and slide the guides
to their new position. To secure
the guides in position, release
the levers.
