1-2-2 Operating the paper feeder
(1) Loading paper
Caution
When the tray is rising or descending, please observe the following precautions.
Keep your fingers out of the slot on the inner side of the bulk paper feeder.
While the tray is descending, keep your hands out from under the tray.
Do not push down on the tray or pull it upward.
(1-1) Loading paper
Once the bulk paper feeder has been installed in accordance with the instructions provided previously, you can prepare to
load paper. Before loading paper, you must adjust the side plates inside the bulk paper feeder to the actual width of the
paper to be loaded.
Note
The legal-size paper is not usable with the bulk paper feeder.
1. Turn printer power on. The bulk paper
feeder is turned on simultaneously.
2. Gently open the feeder’s tray cover. The
paper tray will lower.
3. Make sure that the paper tray is lowered and
stopped. Then, while watching the side
plates inside the bulk paper feeder, rotate
the paper adjuster knob on top of the bulk
paper feeder clockwise. Stop rotating the
knob when the side plates have been set to
their widest settings (outmost positions).
See figure right.
4. Place several sheets of the paper you are
going to use with the bulk paper feeder on
the center of the paper tray.
5. Adjust the side plates by rotating the
adjuster knob on top of the bulk paper
feeder counterclockwise so that the left and
right side edges of the paper are flush with
the left and right side plates.Then, rotate the
adjuster knob half a turn clockwise. This
allows an approximately 1 mm. gap
between each side of the paper stack and
the side plate, which is needed to ensure
the proper paper feeding. See figure right.
Note
Make sure that the paper edges are evenly
aligned on the center of the tray and the
front edge of the stack fully abuts on the
bulk paper feeder’s inside panel.
6. Load up to 2,000 sheets of paper (four stan-
dard reams of packages of 75 g/m
2
or 20 lb.
paper) onto the tray. Fan and flex each ream
as you load it. Load the paper with the side
on which printing is done facing upward in
the bulk paper feeder.
Figure 1-2-9
Note
Don’t put in more paper than the limit indi-
cated on the inside of the bulk paper feeder.
Close the tray cover. The tray will rise and a
sheet will feed partially into the printer. The
printer indicates Ready and the bulk paper
feeder is ready for operation.
