Chapter 2 Preparations before using the copier
Paper & Tray Information (continued)
Storing Paper
If all the sheets from the newly
opened package of copy paper
cannot fit into the tray, wrap the
remaining paper properly and
store it in a darkened area that is cool,
and dry. Using paper that was once
exposed to dampness or wetness may
cause deterioration of copy quality and
paper feed efficiency.
Paper Curl
Check to see the direction in which
the stack of paper curls.
• In the Tray
Place paper in the user-adjustable tray
with the curl upward.
• In the Bypass
Place paper in the manual feed bypass
tray with the curl down.
Paper Orientation
Paper orientation is sometimes
described as portrait (vertical) or
landscape (horizontal). This refers
to the way paper is loaded in the
feeder tray and output trays.
The Portrait and Landscape
illustrations shown at the right
refer to paper orientation as you
face the copier.
