1.3 Cassettes
Table 1–6 Fixed and Universal Cassettes
Paper path Directs paper into the printer. When paper feeds from
the LCIT it feeds through the front of the internal
cassette. This area must be free of obstructions,
adhesive matter, and in good physical condition.
Rear paper guide Holds the paper stack in good feeding position and
controls stack alignment.
If the rear guide is adjusted incorrectly, the paper stack
might misalign and cause paper jams and registrations
defects.
Side guides Hold the paper stack in position and controls stack
alignment. The left side guide if fixed and the right
side guide is adjustable.
If the right side guide is adjusted incorrectly, the paper
stack can misalign and cause skewing and jams.
Size sensing keys Actuate the size sensing switches on the side of the
cassette slot. The size information is compared with
the size entered in the menu or received from the
host. If a mismatch occurs, a paper size error appears.
Table 2–1 gives the key configuration for each paper
size.
Paper size adjuster Sets the size-sensing keys. An incorrectly set paper size
causes false paper jams or paper mismatch errors.
Cassette full indicator Shows the amount of paper remaining in the cassette.
Spring balance knob On the LCIT universal cassette only. Knob adjusts the
spring pressure that lifts the stack up into the paper
feed roller. Adjust the knob to position the indicator in
the center of the window.
Paper corner guide Holds the corner of the paper stack down. During paper
feeding, the corner of the top sheet of paper flicks out
from under the guide while underlying sheets do not.
This action prevents multiple sheet-feeding.
