Placing an Original or Color Chart on the Paper Tray

This procedure describes how to handle the original or the charts when placing them on the paper tray.

    Important:
  • Do not place an original in the tray if some sheets are left in the tray. Doing so might cause double feeding to occur.
  • Faint streaks or linear imprints might appear on paper if the original or color chart is printed on coated paper or media that gets easily scratched.
  • When loading multiple sheets of paper together, fan the sheets thoroughly, bend and then align the edges slowly several times while holding both edges. If misfeed occurs, place one sheet at a time.
