Loading Paper into the Two-tray Wide Large Capacity Tray

The two-tray wide LCT is identified as Tray 3, Tray 4, Tray 5, Tray 6, Tray 7, and Tray 8.

Important

  • Check the paper edges are aligned at the left side.

  • When you use paper of Paper Weight 7 with a convex curl greater than 5 mm, or paper of Paper Weight 8 with a convex curl greater than 3 mm, a paper jam may occur if the height of the stacked paper is less than 4 mm. To use paper in such condition, set the paper in the tray as follows:

    • Set as many as 5 to 10 more sheets than the number of sheets you intend to print

    • Correct the curl amount before setting the paper

    • Turn over the paper so that the paper is with a concave curl.

1Check that paper in the paper tray is not being used, and then pull the tray carefully out until it stops.
