Fanning the paper

Important

  • If you load coated paper, label paper, or thick paper of 163.1–360.0 g/m2 (60.1 lb. Cover–198.0 lb. Index) in the three-tray wide LCT, it is important that you fan the sheets thoroughly. Misfeeds may occur if paper is not fanned thoroughly.

  • If you load coated paper or transparencies in the two-tray wide LCT, it is important that you fan the sheets thoroughly. Misfeeds may occur if paper is not fanned thoroughly.
