Loading Paper

This section describes how to load paper into the paper tray.

Be careful when replacing the roll paper or removing misfed paper. Follow the instructions for these procedures properly. Not doing so could result in injury from the paper cutter inside.

The fusing section of this machine might be very hot. Caution should be taken when removing misfed paper.

When replacing or loading the paper roll, do not put the paper roll on the upper of the paper roll tray. Otherwise the tray may fall and an injury may result.

Hold the paper roll horizontally with both hands. When you grab the paper holder and hold the paper roll vertically, the paper roll may fall off and an injury may result.

When replacing or loading the paper, or clearing paper jams, pull out the cut paper tray slowly with both hands. Do not pull out the cut paper tray with a single hand. Otherwise the rear of the cut paper tray may fall and an injury may result.

When removing paper rolls, lift the paper holders on either side of the paper roll before removing. Do not lift one side only. This could damage the machine.
