Preparation before Use Before Loading Paper When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading in the following steps. 1 Bend the whole set of sheets to swell them in the middle. 2 Hold the stack at both ends and stretch it while keeping the entire stack risen. 3 Raise the right and left hands alternately to create a gap and feed air between the paper. 4 Finally, align the paper on a level, flat table. If the paper is curled or folded, straighten it before loading. Paper that is curled or folded may cause a jam. CAUTION: If you copy onto used paper (paper already used for copying), do not use paper that is stapled or clipped together. This may damage the machine or cause poor image quality. Avoid exposing opened paper to high temperatures and high humidity as dampness can be a cause of problems. Seal any remaining paper after loading in the multi purpose tray or cassettes back in the paper storage bag. If the machine will not be used for a prolonged period, protect all paper from humidity by removing it from the cassettes and sealing it in the paper storage bag. NOTE: Note that some paper types have a tendency to curl and may jam in the paper eject unit. If the output paper scatters or stacks unevenly, turn the paper over in the cassette, or change the orientation (vertical/horizontal) of the paper in the cassette. If you use special paper such as letterhead, paper with holes or paper with pre-prints like logo or company name, refer to the Paper on Appendix-12. 2-28
