Pull out the tray of the Large Capacity Feeder carefully until it comes to a stop.
Do not touch the slide rail (“A” in the figure on the right).
This could injure you.
2
Place 2 stacks of paper in the right and left trays correspondingly.
Fan and jog the paper well before placing it. Place it with its copy side up. Place one stack of paper in the right-
hand tray (shown as “A” in the figure) with its side touching the right corner of the tray, and place the other stack
of paper in the left-hand tray (shown as “B” in the figure) with its side touching the left corner of the tray. Paper
can be placed neatly if you divide stacks into small bundles and pile them up on the two trays alternately.
Paper in the right-hand tray is used first. When it runs out, paper in the left-hand tray will be moved
automatically to the right-hand tray and fed.
Be careful that the stack height of the paper does not exceed the line indicated inside the side guides. For
maximum number of sheets to be loaded, refer to the Specifications Guide.
When placing paper, be sure that the center lever is not open. (See the label attached in the tray of the Large
Capacity Feeder.)
If paper cannot be fed, printing takes a long time after feeding or the quality is poor, turn over the paper and
place it again.

Adding paper in the Large Capacity Feeder during printing
When the paper on the left tray of the Large Capacity Feeder has run out during printing or copying, “Paper for left tray
can be added.” appears. You can pull out the Large Capacity Feeder and add paper to the left tray without stopping
printing. This is useful when you wish to make a large amount of copies or printouts quickly.

Pull out the tray of the Large Capacity Feeder carefully until it comes to a stop.
Only the left tray will come out.
Do not touch the slide rail (“A” in the figure on the right).
This could injure you.
2
Place paper on the left tray.
Place paper aligning to the left-hand side of the tray.
3
Push the tray of the Large Capacity Feeder straight into this equipment carefully.
When the paper on the right tray has run out, that on the left tray will be automatically shifted to the right tray.
Be careful not to let your fingers be caught when pushing the tray into this equipment.
This could injure you.
Do not slam the tray shut. Stacked sheets may collapse and they cannot be transported correctly.
