6. Slide the side guides so they touch the sides of your input stack. If
your paper is standard letter or A4 size, the input tray has a switch
to restrict the side guides from opening wider, as shown.
7. Extend the output tray so it is longer than the input stack by about
1/2 in/1 cm. Raise the end stop of the output tray, if the paper is
shorter than 14 in/35 cm.
8. For pages that are difficult to feed or separate, feather the lead
edges of the stack, as shown. Hold the back of the stack and bend
the stack so the lead edges of the bottom documents are forward of
the top documents. Maintain this shape in the stack when you place
the pages into the input tray.
9. Some paper types can affect feeding and separation performance:
- Thermal papers
- Coated papers
- Glued edge papers
- Perforated pages
- Carbonless paper
- Pre-folded paper
- Papers with static charge
- Photographs (glossy)
- Rough textured paper
- Previously stapled documents
You may need to experiment with these tips and with active feeding
(see “Mixed paper” on page 31) to find the preparation steps and input
stack size that work well for your documents.
