Loading Paper
Paper can be loaded into either the cassette or the multi-purpose tray. Note for Adding Paper
After taking new paper out of its packaging, be sure to 
fan through the paper a few times to separate the 
sheets before loading that paper into the cassette or 
the multi-purpose tray.
Set the paper in the cassette with the side which faced 
the top of its packaging facing up.
Important! • When using paper that has been run through a machine before, check it to make sure that all 
staples and paper clips have been removed. Not doing so may result in poor images or 
malfunctions.
• Straighten out any creases or curls in the paper before loading it. Failure to straighten out 
creases and curls may lead to paper jams.
• Leaving paper out of its package under high 
temperature and high humidity conditions may 
lead to problems caused by ambient moisture. 
After loading paper into the cassette, store the 
remaining paper sealed in the paper storage bag. 
Also if any paper remains in the multi-purpose 
tray, store the paper sealed in the paper storage 
bag. Before leaving the machine in disuse for a 
prolonged period of time, remove the paper from 
the cassette and seal it in the paper storage bag to 
protect it from moisture.
