Loading

Load media into the bulk paper module

The input capacity of the print system can be extended with a bulk paper module. This bulk paper module can hold up to 3,500 sheets of paper (80 g/m² / 22 lb bond). The paper tray feeds the media face up.

When you load envelopes in the bulk paper module, you need the envelope guide.

CAUTION

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

IMPORTANT
  • When you lift the inside lifter of the paper tray, for example because you dropped something, do not lift the lifter more than 50 mm / 2" or diagonally. This can cause a malfunction or machine damage.

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

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

  • Do not insert paper clips or other objects into the paper blower port of the bulk paper module.

  • 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.

Before you begin

  • Check and prepare the media.

  • Awake the print system from sleep mode, if applicable.

Procedure

Action

1

Press the button (1) to open the bulk paper tray (2).

When the media size does not change continue with step 5, otherwise go to step 2.

2

Slide the right-hand paper guide to the right-hand side of the paper tray.

3

Lift the feeding support roller and remove all media.

4

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

5

Load a media stack of approximately 10 mm / 4".

IMPORTANT

For media sizes larger than A4, first close and then open the paper tray. The inside lifter needs to raise to correctly load the media larger than A4.

6

Squeeze the front-side paper guide and slide the paper guides against the media stack.

7

Slide the right-hand paper guide to the media stack and check the size mark for the exact alignment.

IMPORTANT

When you don not align the right-hand paper guide properly, a paper jam, poor print quality, or dirty machine parts can occur.

8

Continue to load the next media stacks of approximately 10 mm / 0.4".

IMPORTANT
  • Load approximately 550 sheets of media at a time. If the paper tray can handle more media, the lifter will descend.

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

  • When you load envelopes, make sure the loaded envelope stack does not exceed the envelope loading limit mark ( / ). Use the correct orientation for the envelopes.

9

Gently close the paper tray and make sure it clicks into place.

CAUTION

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

After you finish

  • 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 next paper jam. Take a new stack for these media.

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