Operating Safety Precautions
Warning for Installation
Do not give many loads on one electrical outlet. This can cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Cautions for Installation
Do not install QC-S300 in a location where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, high temperature or humidity.
Do not install the QC-S300 near any device which produces strong magnetic fields.
Do not install the QC-S300 in a location which is dusty. This can cause a fire or an electrical shock.
Do not install the QC-S300 in an unstable floor surface. This may allow the QC-S300 to fall over, and this can cause severe personal injury. This can also affect the performance of the machine.
Warnings for Operation/Maintenance
Work alone when you do any operation.
Turn off the main power switch and unplug the power cord whenever you are cleaning the feed rollers or friction pads.
Do not operate the machine with any of the covers removed. There are rotating mechanism and sections with extremely high voltage inside the machine. These can cause severe personal injury or an electrical shock.
Caution for Operation
After turning the power switch off, wait ten seconds before turning it on again. Otherwise, the circuit boards may be damaged.

How to Load the Sheets in the Bins
Load sheets into the bins. Refer to the Additional Information for tips of loading the sheets.
Bin
Maximum 28 mm
(1.1" high)
2109620101A1
Load the sheets in the bins.
• Load sheets as shown in the illustration to the left.
• The maximum stack height is 28 mm (1.1”).
• The way the sheets are loaded in the bins depends on the sheet size and the feeding direction. (Refer to page
6.)
• Normally, load sheets as shown in the illustration to the left.
• Only A4 and 8.5” X 11” size sheets can be loaded so that they feed from the long edge. (To set up for this, use the support stopper on the receiving tray.)
• Avoid feeding A5 sheets (5.5" x 8.5") from the long edge. This can cause double-feeding.
Set the front guide.
• Move the front guide up against the stack of sheets.
Important
• Do not leave any gap between the front guide and the stack of sheets.

10 mm
(0.39")
Front Guide
2109620101B1
Center this roller. Set near the right edge.
Feed Roller
Set the support rollers.
• Set the left support roller about 10 mm (0.39”) inside the near edge of the stack.
• Center the middle support roller between the left support roller and the feed roller.
• Set the right support roller near the right edge of the sheet.
Set this
10 mm (0.39") from the near edge.
2109620101C1
Additional Information: It is important to fan the sheets correctly.
• Wet ink can stain the collator, and also cause feed problems.
• Before collating photocopied sheets, wait about 30 minutes to remove any static electricity in the sheets.
• Uneven stacking can cause jams or misfeeds. This can also cause stacking problems on the receiving tray.

Usually, load the sheets so they feed from the short edge.
• A4 (8.5” x 11”) size sheets can be collated as shown in the right-hand illustration. Use the support stopper on the receiving tray.
• Avoid feeding A5 sheets (5.5" x 8.5") from the long edge. This can cause double-feeding.

How to Set the Receiving Tray
The positions of the guides and backstop on the receiving tray depend on the receiving mode and the sheet size.
There are two ways to stack the collated sheets on the receiving tray. Select “offset receiving” or “straight receiving.”
Rear Guides
Offset Receiving
Move the rear guides to the far side of the receiving tray.

This function allows you to divide the collator(s) into two sections and feed sheets from either section.
• When sheets from section (A) run out, other sheets will be fed from section (B) automatically. This means that collating can continue. (One collator: 5 bins each section, Two collators: 10 bins each section, Three collators: 15 bins each section.)
Loading Sheets into the Bins
• Place the tab sheets in the top bin (one collator) or the top and the next highest bins (two or three collators) in each section.
• When a single collator is used with the tab insertion function, load the tab sheets in the 1st and 6th bins
(shown in gray).
• When two collators are used with the tab insertion function, load the tab sheets in the 1st and 2nd bins on each collator (shown in gray).
• When three collators are used with the tab insertion function, load the tab sheets in the 1st and 2nd bins on the leftmost collator and the 6th and 7th bins on the middle collator (shown in gray).
