Basic Paper Loading Method
This section describes the general method for loading paper such as plain or recycled paper. Load frequently used paper types or sizes in the paper drawer. When temporarily using paper that is not loaded in the paper drawer, load it in the multi-purpose tray.
|
For the optional Paper Feeder PF-J, follow the procedure of paper drawer to load paper. If there are instructions on the paper package about which side of the paper to load, follow those instructions. Paper may overlap when it is fed or a paper jam may occur, depending on the cut surface of the paper. Changing the paper orientation and loading it again may reduce the effect of the cut surface. If paper runs out and printing is stopped, load a new paper stack. Printing restarts after the new paper stack is loaded. |
