Loading Paper This chapter describes available trays for each paper size and type, and explains how to load paper in paper trays. Paper Loading Procedure To achieve the print results you expect, it is important to select an appropriate input tray according to the size, type, and weight of the paper you want to use for printing. You also need to specify the paper size and type properly using the control panel or Web Image Monitor, and/or the paper size dial on the tray. Follow the procedure below to load paper. 1. Check the paper tray available for the size, type, and weight of the paper you want to use for printing. For details about available paper trays for each paper size and type, see page 106 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 108 "Paper Type Specifications". 2. Change the paper size and type settings for the tray you selected. Use the control panel of the printer or Web Image Monitor to change the paper size and type. For details about changing paper settings using the control panel, see page 125 "Paper Settings". 3. Load paper into the tray.

Loading Paper Paper Precautions • Do not attempt to print on stapled sheets, aluminum foil, carbon paper, or any kind of conductive paper. Doing so risks fire. Precautions • Do not use acidic paper because it accelerates the deterioration of the drum unit and surrounding parts. • If paper jams occur or multiple sheets are fed at once, fan the paper before loading it. CBK254 • If you load paper when only a few sheets of paper remain in the tray, multiple sheet feeding may occur. Remove any remaining paper, stack them upon the new sheets of paper, and then fan the entire stack before loading it into the tray. • Straighten curled or warped paper before loading. • For details about available paper sizes and types for each paper tray, see page 106 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 108 "Paper Type Specifications". • Depending on the environment where the printer is being used, you might at times hear a rustling noise from paper moving through the printer. This noise does not indicate a malfunction. Unusable Paper To prevent errors and misfeeds, do not use: • Paper for inkjet printers, thermal fax paper, art paper, paper with perforated lines, hemmededge paper, OHP transparencies, and window envelopes • Bent, folded, or creased paper, perforated paper, slippery paper, torn paper, rough paper, thin paper with little stiffness, and paper with a dusty surface • Errors can occur if you print onto sides that are already printed. Be sure to print onto blank sides only. 110 midas-p3_com_operating_instructions_gb_00198515_eng.xml Draft 2016/01/18 Paper Precautions • Even supported types of paper may cause paper jams or malfunctions if they have been improperly stored. • If you print onto rough grain paper, the output image might be blurred. • Do not load sheets that have already been printed by another printer. Paper Storage When storing paper, the following precautions should always be followed: • Do not store paper where it will be exposed to direct sunlight. • Avoid storing paper in humid areas (humidity: 70% or less). • Store on a flat surface. • Do not store paper vertically. • Once opened, store paper in plastic bags. Print Area The following shows the recommended print area for paper printed with this printer: CEC244 1. Print area 2. Feed direction 3. 4.2 mm (0.2 inches) 4. 4.2 mm (0.2 inches) • The print area may vary depending on the paper size, printer language, and printer driver settings. midas-p3_com_operating_instructions_gb_00198515_eng.xml 111 Draft 2016/01/18 3. Loading Paper • Depending on the printer driver settings, you may be able to print outside the recommended print area. However, the actual output may not come out as desired, or a paper feed problem may occur. 112 midas-p3_com_operating_instructions_gb_00198515_eng.xml Draft 2016/01/18 Loading Paper into Paper Trays Loading Paper into Paper Trays In the following example procedure, paper is loaded into Tray 1. • When loading paper, take care not to trap or injure your fingers. • For details about trays that can be loaded for each paper size and type, see page 106 "Paper Size Specifications" and page 108 "Paper Type Specifications". • Be sure to select the correct paper size and feed direction using the paper size dial on the tray. Otherwise, the printer might be damaged, or printing problems might occur. • Make sure the paper stack does not exceed the upper limit mark inside the paper tray. Excessive stacking can cause paper jams. • If paper jams occur frequently, flip the paper stack in the tray. • Do not mix different types of paper in the same paper tray. • After loading paper, specify the paper size using the control panel or paper size dial, and paper type using the control panel. When printing a document, specify the same paper size and type in the printer driver as specified on the printer. • Do not move the side paper guides and end paper guide forcefully. Doing so may damage the tray. • Do not slide the paper tray in forcefully when inserting the loaded tray into the printer. Otherwise, the side and end guides or the paper guide of the bypass tray might move. • When loading label paper, load it one by one. 1.
