Guides in Loading Paper
When you load paper in the bins, follow the directions below to avoid collating errors or jams.
● Make sure ink is completely dry.
If ink is wet, loaded sheets stick together and are likely to cause feed errors such as double feed. Besides, wet ink might
smudge the Paper Feed Roller or the Paper Stripper Pad, causing collated sheets to be smudged as well.

● Fan sheets well.
They might stick together in a stack due to static electricity, thus causing jams or double feed.
Basic Operation ....................................................................................................................... 10
● Flatten sheets if you cannot avoid use curled ones or if they have folds or waves.
Specifying the Number of Required Sets of Collated Sheets [Programme Mode] .................. 16
If the curled sheets cannot be flattened well, place them so that their leading edge may
curl up, except when using the Stapling mode, in which curled paper is not available.
Inserting Partition Sheets at a Specified Interval [Partition Insertion Mode] ............................ 17
● Do not load too many sheets at a time.
The respective bins can hold an up-to-28mm(1”)-thick stack of sheets (equivalent to approx. 280 sheets of 64g/m2 or 17lb
bond paper).
● Do not mix different sizes or types of sheets in the stack.
False double feed detection might occur if the sheets of different weight or type are mixed there.
● Arrange loaded sheets neatly.
If they are stacked disorderly, their corner might be folded when collated.
