Description extension guides

1

Extension guides, to place the long sheets in the correct position in the tray.

2

Extension guides, to collect long sheets.

CAUTION

When you handle paper, be careful not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

IMPORTANT
  • Load only one sheet at a time.

  • Do not load envelopes.

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

  • 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.

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

  • When you make two-sided prints, printed output can crease depending on the moisture absorption of the media.

  • Make sure you follow the instructions carefully. When you do not load media correctly, a paper jam, dirty machine parts, or poor print quality can occur.
