4. Operator instructions
4.1 Load paper
4.2 Loading paper during run.
1 Make sure that the sheets are well fanned to avoid
missfeeds or double-feeds.
2 Align the sheets well to achieve a reliable collating
operation and good finishing result.
3 Make sure that the ink has dried out well, to avoid
smearing.
4 Load the covers into the paper bin.
5 Move the adjustable side guide up against the sheets
until there is no clearance.
6 Move the adjustable Air nozzle, so that the green stripe
on the Air nozzle bracket is level with the paper stack.
1 When the Bin low detection LED is flashing, it is
possible to load paper while the machine is running.
Wait until the Cover Feeder has fed a cover. Press the
green label on the front side guide. Slide the new
