Load long sheets into the special feeder

The extension guides of the special feeder for long sheets (Long Sheet Tray-B or Long Sheet Tray-C ) enable you to feed long sheets, for example, when you need to print book jackets, banners, posters or maps. The special feeder can hold up one long sheet. The special feeder feeds the media face up.

You have to use this extension guide together with the alignment tray, Stack Bypass Alignment Tray-D.

CAUTION

When you handle paper, take care not to cut your hands at the edges of the paper.

IMPORTANT
  • Load only one sheet at a time.

  • Do not load envelopes.

  • Feed vellum media one sheet at a time and remove each sheet after delivery in the output tray. When you load several sheets together, a paper jam can occur.

  • It is very important that you define the correct job settings for media, such as heavy paper or transparencies. The fixing unit can become dirty, which requires a service visit. Moreover, the image quality can become poor.

  • Check that the alignment guides are attached correctly to avoid paper jams.
