Caution When Outputting Paper to the Finisher/Stacker

When the paper is delivered to the output tray, the output paper may not be aligned. In this case, set the curl correction and set <Gloss> to <-> side in the Gloss/Fine Black Adjustment mode simultaneously. For more information on the settings, see Curl Correction for Each Paper Drawer  and Adjust Gloss/Fine Black.

If the width of the paper you are using is small, the paper may be stapled (corner/double) with uneven edges. In this case, check the width of the paper.

When the Thin paper whose length is less than 5 1/2" (140 mm) is output, the corner of paper may be folded. In this case, perform curl correction to curl the paper upward.

Special types of paper, such as coated paper and embossed paper, may be loaded on the output tray with uneven edges. In this case, perform curl correction to curl the paper upward.

If paper that is curled upward is used with the staple mode, the paper may be stapled with uneven edges. In this case, perform curl correction to curl the paper downward.

When the curled paper is output, the output paper may not be loaded properly on the output tray, and may fall from the tray. In this case, the remedies shown below may be able to prevent the situation.
- Changing whether the printed paper is output face up or face down
- Changing the paper loading direction
- Changing the output destination

When the following paper is output on the upper tray of the finisher, remove the accumulated paper from the tray before its height reaches approximately 1 1/4" (30 mm).
- Paper of B4 size or larger and basis weight of 148.3 lb cover (401 g/m2) or heavier
- Hard paper with a gap between the back edge of the paper and the tray
If you continue outputting without removing the accumulated paper, the accumulated paper may fall from the upper tray.
This can be prevented by changing the output destination to the lower tray.

If paper that is less than 17 lb bond (64 g/m2) is used for the cover page, the paper may be creased when saddle stitched.

If paper that is less than 17 lb bond (64 g/m2) is used for the cover page when the "Booklet Trimmer-G" is used, the paper may be trimmed with uneven edges.

When the saddle stitch mode is set, if a paper jam occurred because of the thickness of the stack, reduce the number of pages in the main document.

If the width of the paper you are using is small, the paper may be saddle stitched with uneven edges. In this case, check the width of the paper.

If the width of the paper you are using is small when the "Booklet Trimmer-G" is used, parts of the paper may tore off during trimming or the paper may not be trimmed because the trim location cannot be reached. Also, a booklet that is saddle stitched with uneven edges may be trimmed with prints unaligned. In this case, check the width of the paper.

If the optional "Booklet Trimmer-G"/"Booklet Trimmer-G" and "Two-Knife Booklet Trimmer-B" are attached and more than 20 sheets (including 1 cover sheet) are saddle stitched, do not set the Saddle Press setting to off. If the Saddle Press setting is set to off, paper jam may occur.
