Adding Paper And Toner; Precautions For Loading Paper; Fanning The Paper - Ricoh MP C6502 series Operation Manual

9. Adding Paper and Toner

This chapter describes how to load paper into the paper tray and recommended paper sizes and types.

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 the paper sizes and types that can be used, see page 146 "Recommended
Paper Sizes and Types".
• You might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the machine. This noise does
not indicate a malfunction.

Fanning the Paper

• If you load coated paper, label paper, OHP transparencies, or thick paper of 150.1–300.0 g/m
(55.1 lb. Cover–165.0 lb. Index) in the wide LCT, it is important that you fan the sheets thoroughly.
Misfeeds may occur if paper is not fanned thoroughly.
