Loading

Load media into the paper tray

Media loading is the same for all input trays.

Location of the input trays

Each internal paper tray of the print module can hold up to 1,000 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb bond).

Each paper module can hold up to 4,000 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb bond or 64 g/m² / 17 lb bond): 1,000 sheets per tray in the two upper trays and 2,000 sheets in the lower tray. The paper trays feed the media face down.

There is no sensor in the paper trays that can detect the media. After you open and close a paper tray, the print system will not change the media settings.

Use the Tab Feeding Attachment-E1 when you load tab paper.

CAUTION
  • The lifter inside the paper trays rises and descends automatically. When you load paper, be careful not to get your fingers caught. This can cause personal injury.

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

IMPORTANT
  • Before you lift the inside lifter of the paper tray, for example because you dropped something, first turn OFF the main power switch. Otherwise this can cause a malfunction or machine damage.

  • Do not hit to the left-hand paper guide when you load the media. This can cause a malfunction or machine damage.

IMPORTANT
  • Never place paper or other objects in the empty parts of a paper tray. This can cause a paper jam.

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

  • Do not apply too much pressure when you attach the tab feeding attachment on the paper holder plate.

Open the paper tray from the control panel or press the button to open the paper tray.

2

Grip the handle and pull out the paper tray until it stops.

The inside lifter automatically descends to the loading position.

3

Remove all media.

When the media size does not change, continue with step 8, otherwise go to step 4.

4

Unlock the lever and slide all paper guides so that there is enough space to load the media.

When you use the Tab Feeding Attachment-E1 for tab paper, align the arrows on the attachment and the paper holder plate.

5

Load a media stack of approximately 10 mm / 0.4". (Media specifications)

6

Slide the front and rear paper guide against the media stack and lock the lever. Check the size mark for the exact alignment. (Media specifications)

IMPORTANT

Adjust the paper guides precisely. This prevents a paper jam, poor print quality and dirty machine parts.

7

Slide the left-hand paper guide towards the media stack.

8

Place the media stack against the right side of the paper tray.

IMPORTANT

Make sure the loaded the media stack does not exceed the loading limit mark ().

The inside lifter automatically rises, and prepares the paper tray for printing.

CAUTION

When you close the paper tray, be careful not to get your fingers caught. This can cause personal injury.

What to do next

  • When a paper jam occurs or you notice poor image quality, turn over the media stack and reload the media stack. Do not reload textured, single-sided coated, or already printed paper to avoid a paper jam. For these media, take a new stack.

  • Tightly rewrap the remaining media in the original package, and store the package in a dry place, away from direct sunlight or high temperatures.
