Symbols in this manual
In this manual, some important items are described with the symbols shown below. Be sure to read these items before
using this equipment.
Other than the above, this manual also describes information that may be useful for the operation of this equipment with
the following signage:
Description of original/paper direction
Paper or originals of A4, B5 or LT size can be placed either in a portrait direction or in a landscape direction. In this
manual, “-R” is added to this paper size when this size of paper or original is placed in a landscape direction.
Example: A4 size original on the original glass
Paper or originals of A3, B4, LD or LG can only be placed in a landscape direction, therefore “-R” is not added to these
sizes.
Screens
Screens on this manual may differ from the actual ones depending on how the equipment is used, such as the status
of the installed options.
The illustration screens used in this manual are for paper in the A/B format. If you use paper in the LT format, the

Precautions for storing copy paper
Make sure of the following when storing copy paper:
Wrap the paper in its wrapping to keep it free from dust.
Avoid direct sunlight.
Store in a damp-free space.
To prevent paper from being folded or bent, store it in a flat place.
Placing paper in drawers
Follow the procedure below to place paper in a drawer. For acceptable copy paper, see the following page:
P.11 “Acceptable copy paper”
1
Turn the power of this equipment ON.
2
Pull out a drawer carefully until it comes to a stop.
3
Place paper in the drawer.
Up to 600 sheets (64 g/m2) (17 lb. Bond) can be placed in one
drawer. Be sure that the height of the stacked paper does not
exceed the line indicated inside of the side guides.
P.11 “Acceptable copy paper”
Fan and jog the stack of paper well before you place it in a

Push the drawer straight into this equipment carefully until it comes to a stop.
Be careful not to let your fingers be caught when pushing the drawer into this equipment.
This could injure you.
4
Move the end guide to the trailing edge of the paper
while pushing its lower part in the direction of the
arrows.
5
While holding the green lever of the front side guide,
adjust the side guides to the paper size.
Adjust the side guides with both hands.
6
Confirm that there is no extra gap between the paper
and the side or end guides.
If the gap between the paper and the side or end guides is too big, this
would result in paper misfeeding.
Gap between the paper and the side guides (“A” in the figure on
the right): Do not make a gap of more than 0.5 mm (0.02") on one
side or 1.0 mm (0.04") on both sides. However, if a paper jam
occurs in the case of thick paper, create a suitable gap.
Gap between the paper and the end guide (“B” in the figure on the
right): Do not make a gap of more than 0.5 mm (0.02").
