IMPORTANT
Before you load media into the paper trays, it is important to unpack and carefully check the stack and sheets.
Load the media carefully because light-weight media is fragile, especially at the edges.
Some light-weight media can be badly cut. This means that sheets stick to each other. After you loaded the media, loosen the sheets according the instructions below.
Follow the instructions below carefully. When you do not load the media correctly, media or machine damage can occur.
Discard damaged sheets.
Before you load light-weight media into the paper trays, insert the light-weight media tool in the side slider at the operator side. The light-weight media tool is located in the door of the paper module.
Remove the light-weight media tool when there is no light-weight media loaded in the tray. Place the light-weight media tool in the storage location in the door of the paper module.
Make sure that the grain direction of the media is in the transport direction of the printer.
When needed, determine the grain direction, see Determine the grain direction of light-weight media
The humidity of the light-weight media is very important
Do not use media that is not wrapped, or not wrapped well.
Unpack one ream and load the media before you load another ream.
Load media as soon as possible after unpacking.
Do not use media that was stored outside the printer for more than 2 hours.
Make sure that the correct media is assigned to the correct paper tray.
