Loading

Load long sheets into the special feeder

The special feeder (Long Sheet Tray-A1 ) enables you to feed long sheets, for example when you need to print book jackets, banners, posters or maps. The special feeder feeds the media face up and prints only one side. Enter the sheet again for a 2-sided print.

Sliding guides, to place the sheet in the correct position in the tray.

2

Alignment tray, to prevent a skewed sheet.

3

Alignment guides, to place a sheet in the correct position in the tray.

4

Alignment guides, to collect a long sheet.

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.

CAUTION

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

Procedure

Action

Loosen the screws (1), adjust all 4 paper guides (2) to the width of the media and tighten the screws again (1).

Load one sheet into the special feeder.

IMPORTANT

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

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.
