Load media into the paper module

The paper module (Multi-drawer Paper Deck-C1 ) increases the input capacity of the print system. Each paper tray can hold up to 2,000 sheets (80 g/m² / 22 lb bond or 64 g/m² / 17 lb bond). The paper trays feed the media face up.

Description paper module

1

Front cover, to access the paper path when a paper jam occurs.

2

Tray buttons, to open a paper tray.

3

Paper trays, to hold the media.

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.

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

IMPORTANT
  • Never place media or other objects in the empty parts of the 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.

NOTE
  • When you change from plain paper to coated paper, the print system first fans the media.

  • Check that the height of the loaded media stack is maximum 20 mm / 0.8" to avoid curled and creased edges.

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 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.
