Precaution for Loading Paper
When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following
steps.
Fan the paper, then tap it on a level surface. In addition, note the following points.
• If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a jam.
• Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of
problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading in the multipurpose tray or cassettes back in the paper
storage bag.
• If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period, protect all paper from humidity by removing it from the
cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.
IMPORTANT
If you copy onto used paper (paper already used for printing), do not use paper that is stapled or clipped together.
This may damage the machine or cause poor image quality.
NOTE
If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or company name,
refer to the following:
