Loading Paper
Loading to High Capacity Tray
Images are printed on the face side of the loaded paper.
Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. It may cause paper jams or machine malfunction.
• If the amount of the loaded paper is 100 sheets or less, the guides apply more pressure to the paper. It may
cause the paper to be distorted, leading to paper jams.
• Position the guides correctly to match the paper size. Incorrectly positioned guides may cause misfeeding and
paper jams.
• In the event power is disconnected while the Paper Tray's bottom plate is rising, the plate may not move up
when the power is recovered. In this case, pull out the Paper Tray, make sure the plate is lowered, and then push
the Paper Tray into the machine slowly and firmly.
• When paper sheets are loaded or fed, the Paper Tray makes a sound of supplying air. This is caused by the Air
Assist function, and not an abnormal noise.
1. Pull out the Paper Tray toward you until it stops.
2. Remove any paper remaining in the Paper Tray.
3. Fan the paper well and load about 100 to 500 sheets
with the printed side facing up, and the paper edges
aligned in the direction of the arrow (
1
).
4. Pinch the long-side paper guide grip and adjust to
the correct paper size (
2
).
5. Load remaining sheets with the printed side facing
up, and align the paper edges in the direction of the
arrow (
1
).
6. Adjust the short-side paper guide to the correct pa-
per size (
2
).
To leave a space, pinch the paper guide grip to move.
To narrow, push the paper guide to move.
Make sure that Paper Feed Precision Lever is set to the Normal position. If printed image is still skewed (misalign-
ment of image on prints) after you load paper in Paper Tray correctly, enable switching of paper feed precision.

the right side of the bottom of the Paper Tray (
1
).
Align the hole of the Kit with the front Paper Tray
hole and tighten the screw to fasten the Kit (
2
).
5. Load about 100 to 500 sheets of paper with the print-
ed side facing up, and align the paper edges in the
direction of the arrow (
1
).
• Be sure to set them in short edge feed.
• The right side short edge of the set postcard will be the front edge.
6. Pinch the long-side paper guide grip and adjust to
the correct paper size (
2
).

Changing Paper Feeding Accuracy
Enabling this function may improve print displacement when images are skewed (print position is
displaced) even though plain paper with the paper weight of 220 g/m2or less is correctly loaded.
• If this function is enabled when paper other than thick paper and plain paper is used, the machine cannot feed
the paper properly, resulting in paper jams.
• It is not effective when the Postcard Kit is used.
1. Pull out the Paper Tray until it stops.
2. Move the lever at the top of the long-side paper guide
to the rightmost position (<I> position) to enable the
changing.
To reset the setting, move the lever to the leftmost position.
3. If the accuracy of paper feeding is not improved even
if 2 is performed, move the lever at the right front to
the rearmost position (<I> position) to enable the
changing.
To reset the setting, move the lever to the foremost position.
4. Push in the Paper Tray.
After using the paper in question, return the lever to the
normal position <o>.

Loading to Bypass Tray
Images are printed on the face side of the loaded paper.
Do not load paper above the maximum fill line. It may cause paper jams or machine malfunction.
• If the paper guide width is narrower or wider than the paper, it may cause paper jams.
• In the case of coated paper, only one sheet can be loaded.
The image quality and paper feeding capability are not guaranteed when more than one sheet is loaded.
Slide Type
1. Adjust the paper guide to the size of loaded paper.
2. Fan the paper well and insert it along the paper guide
all the way until it touches the back, with the printed
side facing up.

ment of the paper guide based on the paper size.
