Placing a Sample or Color Chart on the Input Tray

This procedure describes how to place the samples or color charts on the paper input tray.

    Important:
  • Avoid placing a sample or color chart on the input tray if other sheets remain, as this might result in double feeding.
  • Faint streaks or linear imprints might appear on the paper if the sample or color chart is printed on coated paper or media that is easily scratched.
  • When loading multiple sheets of paper, fan them thoroughly. Then, while holding both edges, slowly bend and align the stack several times to ensure smooth feeding. If a misfeed occurs, place one sheet at a time.
