Section 2. Preparation for Printing 2.
2.2 Printer Settings 2.2.1 Stacking Mode Short stacking mode lets you limit the amount of paper that can be delivered to the stackers. When the Short Stacking selection is enabled, the printer detects “Paper Full” when the stacker is two-thirds full. When the Short Stacking selection is disabled, the pritner detects “Paper Full” when the stacker is completely full. 1. To set the Stacking Mode for a particular stacker, make the following selections from the OCP: Finisher / Short Stacking 2.
2.2.2 Decurler Function The Decurler function lets you specify if certain paper should pass through the decurler path. The Decurler function has three modes: AutoSelect lets the printer determine the Decurler setting (see the table below). Enable turns the Decurler function on. Disable turns the Decurler function off. 1. To set the Decurler mode, make the following selections from the OCP: Finisher / Decurler 2. Click on the desired Decurler option, based on the information in the following table.
In order to get your paper to stack properly, follow these simple instructions: 1. Check the characteristics of new paper when characteristics are unknown. 2. Before printing large quantities, check the paper curl by printing a few sheets with the decurler disabled. 3. Select the decurler mode according to the curl direction as shown in the table below.
2.3 Stacker Preparation Place the basket in the container. If you start printing without the basket, or with the basket improperly placed in the container, the following error message is displayed: No Basket: Container xxx. Notes: Different size paper cannot be delivered to the same basket. Front Cover L is locked when the power switch is turned off or when the table is rising. Before opening the front cover, turn on the power switch and wait until the table lowers to the bottom. 1.

Section 3. Removing Paper 3.
3.2 Removing Paper 3.2.1 Container Stacker Up to 1500 sheets of paper can be delivered to both the upper and the lower stackers of each container stacker.

When you press the switch, the table inside descends and the cover is unlocked.
Remove paper from the basket. Basket Caution! Baskets placed in the Container Stacker must be empty. Loading a basket with paper in it can cause damage to the finisher. 4. Gently push the drawer unit back in as far as it will go and close Front Cover L.
3.2.2 Sample Tray Notes: Do not stack more than 100 sheets of paper on the sample tray or a paper jam may occur. (The sample tray does not have a sensor to detect how much paper is on the tray.)
