CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE 1. How to load paper Paper can be loaded into the drawer and the multi-bypass. 2 Press the drawer bottom plate down and lock it there. 3 Holding the width adjustment lever, move it to align the width guide with the required paper width. Paper sizes are marked inside the drawer. 4 While squeezing the presses on the sides, remove the length guide and then insert it into the holes of the required paper length. Paper sizes are marked inside the drawer.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE * If the paper reaches the right-hand wall of the drawer, the length guide is not used. Store it in the space shown in the illustration. 6 Gently push the drawer back in. * If you force the drawer in, the paper may come out from under the claw. NOTE Leaving paper out of its package under high temperature and high humidity conditions may lead to problems caused by ambient moisture.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE 2 Pull out the support guide. IMPORTANT * When loading paper into the multi-bypass, make sure that the copy side is facing downward. (The copy side is the side facing upward when the package is opened.) If the leading edge of the paper is curled, straighten it out before loading the paper in the multi-bypass. * Do not leave paper loaded in the multi-bypass when it is not used. If you do, a paper misfeed may occur.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE 2 Select the paper size by changing the display indication using the Paper Select key. (Inch specifications) 3 Open the multi-bypass. 2 Pull out the support guide. 3 Adjust the insert guides to the width of the envelope to be loaded. 4 Set the envelope with the print side face-down and the flap toward you and then insert it along the insert guides as far as it will go.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE 2. How to set originals (1) Setting originals into the DF Precautions for the use of DF Do not use any of the originals given below with the DF. Also do not set originals with punch holes or tear-off strips positioned as the leading edge.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE ● 15 ppm copier When an original is set in the DF, copying will automatically start (see “DF auto start” on page 6-3). * Enlargement and reduction copying is not possible when the DF is used.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE 3. Replacing the toner container and waste toner tank When the level of toner becomes low, the Add Toner indicator lights and a toner replacement message is printed out. When the message is printed, replace the toner container and waste toner tank immediately. It is still possible to make copies, one at a time, with the indicator lit. However, if copying is continued under this condition, the Start indicator will eventually go off and copying will become disabled.
CHAPTER 3 PREPARATIONS BEFORE USE 4 Slide the toner container to the left and then pull it out toward you. 7 Install the toner container. * First insert the toner container into the copier as far as it will go and then slide it to the right as indicated by the marked arrows. 8 Install the waste toner tank. WARNING High voltage is present in the charger section. Take sufficient care when working in this area, as there is a danger of electrical shock.
