Loading Tab Paper

NOTE
When loading tab paper into the paper drawer, the Tab Feeding Attachment-F is required.
1.
Open the paper drawer.
Grip the handle, and pull out the paper drawer until it stops.
2.
Remove the Tab Feeding Attachment-F from its holder by sliding it to the left and lifting it up, and place it as shown below.
1. Remove the Tab Feeding Attachment-F.
2. Place the Tab Feeding Attachment-F aligning to the mark for tab paper (LTR), and fix the Tab Feeding Attachment-F by fastening the blue screws.
3.
Load the tab paper face down with the tabs facing left.
4.
Squeeze the upper part of the front guide. Without releasing it, slide the front guide to align it with the mark for tab paper (LTR).
IMPORTANT
Slide the front guide until it clicks into place. If the front guide is not adjusted properly for the paper size loaded in the paper drawer, the correct paper size may not appear on the touch panel display.
Adjust the front guide correctly to avoid causing a paper jam, dirty prints, or make the inside of the machine dirty.
5.
Gently push the paper drawer back into the machine until it clicks into place in the closed position.
CAUTION
When returning the paper drawer to its original position, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.
IMPORTANT
Paper which has been rolled or curled must be straightened out prior to use.
You will not be able to make copies or print if you load paper that exceeds the loading limit mark () or if the paper drawer is not completely pushed into the machine.
Make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed the limit mark () at the back of the paper drawer.
Always check that the paper drawers are in place.
Never place paper or any other items in the empty part of the drawer next to the paper stack. Doing so may cause paper jams.
When you are not loading tab paper, make sure to return the Tab Feeding Attachment-F to its holder. Using the Tab Feeding Attachment-F for storing paper other than tab paper may cause a paper jam.
