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 multi purpose tr
ay 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 remo
ving it
f
rom the cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag.
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.
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:
