LOADING PAPER IN THE TRAY 3/4

A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from 12" × 18" to 7-1/4" × 10-1/2"R (A3W to B5R) can be loaded into tray 3. A maximum of 500 sheets of paper from 12" × 18" to 5-1/2" × 8-1/2"R (A3W wide to A5R) can be loaded into tray 4.

  • Other than plain paper, special media such as transparency film and tab paper can be loaded into tray 4. To load tab paper, the dedicated guide must be installed.
  • If you loaded paper of a different type or size from the paper previously loaded, be sure to check the settings in "Settings (administrator)". An incorrect setting may cause print failure, printing on paper of an incorrect size, or type or paper misfeeds.
  • Tray 4 can only be loaded with Com9, Com10, and Monarch envelopes.

Caution

Do not place heavy objects on the tray or press down on the tray.
To check the type and size of paper:
[Tray Settings] in the home screen or in "Settings", select [Status] → [Machine Identification] → [Paper Input Tray Status].

Pull out the paper tray.

Gently pull the tray out until it stops.
To load paper, go to step 3.
To load a different size of paper, go to the next step.
Keep holding the handle until the lock is released.

Adjust guide plates A and B by squeezing their lock levers and sliding them to match the longitudinal and transversal dimensions of the paper to be loaded.

  1. Squeeze the lock knob on guide plate A and slide to the desired paper size.
  2. Squeeze the lock knob on guide plate B and slide to the desired paper size. If slid to a standard paper size, guide plate B will lock automatically.
  3. For a non-standard paper size, after sliding guide plate B to the desired size, press the lock button (C).
A non-standard size of paper can only be loaded in tray 4. A non-standard size of paper cannot be loaded in tray 3.

Fan the paper.

Fan the paper well before loading it. If the paper is not fanned, multiple sheets may feed at once and cause a misfeed.

Insert the paper into the tray.

  • Load the paper with the print side facing up. The stack must not be higher than the indicator line (maximum of 500 sheets).
  • Do not load the paper as shown below.

Gently push the paper tray into the machine.

Push the tray firmly all the way into the machine slowly. Forcefully inserting the paper may cause skewed feeding and paper misfeeds.
