/RDGLQJ WKH 0HGLD &DVVHWWH /RDGLQJ WKH 0HGLD &DVVHWWH The QMS 2060 Print System comes standard with either a 500-sheet cassette or a 250-sheet universal cassette, depending on the model ordered. These trays are interchangeable and therefore can be either in the upper or optional lower position. Basically, loading media in either cassette involves the following steps: Prepare the paper Load the cassette Each of these steps is described in detail, later in this procedure.
Loading the Media Cassette Loading the 500-sheet Cassette Load media in the 500-sheet cassette as follows. For 250-sheet cassette instructions, see “Load the 250-sheet Cassette” on page 2-14. » Note: Reload media cassettes only when the printer is not actively printing. 1 Pull out and remove the cassette.
/RDGLQJ WKH 0HGLD &DVVHWWH 2 Position the cassette. The cassette has a spring in the bottom that provides some resistance when print media is placed on it. Lay the cassette flat on a hard surface and, using your left hand, push down on the plate in the cassette until it locks. 3 Load media in the 500-sheet cassette in increments so that the 500 sheets fit in the cassette and the media stack is properly leveled out.

Loading the Media Cassette 6 » Adjust the media tray to fit the media size. Note: When printing different-sized media, set the media tray to the largest paper size. If the media tray is set to a smaller paper size, large-size paper will curl, block the opening (when delivered to the output tray), and cause a media jam. Additionally, 13x22 and 13x26 paper sizes will curl beyond the input and output guides and therefore should be handled accordingly.
