BEFORE USING THE MACHINE
Important points when inserting paper in the bypass tray
• Up to 100 sheets of standard copy paper can be set
in the bypass tray.
• Be sure to place 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" size paper
horizontally as shown in the following diagram ( ).
• When loading envelopes, make sure that they are
straight and flat and do not have loosely glued
construction flaps (not the closure flap).
• Special papers except SHARP recommended
transparency film, labels, and envelopes must be fed
one sheet at a time through the bypass tray.
• When adding paper, first remove any paper
remaining in the tray, combine it with the paper to be
added and then reload as a single stack. The paper
to be added must be the same size and type as the
paper already in the tray.
• Do not use paper that is smaller than the original.
This may cause smudges or unclean images.
• Do not use paper that has already been printed on
by a laser printer or plain paper fax machine. This
may cause smudges or unclean images.
LOADING PAPER
Make sure that the machine is not copying or printing, and then follow these steps to load paper.
Loading the paper tray
1
Lift and pull out the paper tray until it
stops.
2
Push the pressure plate down until it
locks in place.
Push the center of the
pressure plate down until
it locks into place.
3
Fan the paper.
If the paper is not fanned,
double-feeds or misfeeds
may occur.
4
Load paper into the tray. Make sure
the edges go under the corner hooks.
5
Push the paper tray firmly back into
the machine.
• Do not load paper higher than the line on
the tray (up to 250 sheets).
• Make sure that the paper fits under the tab
on the right side of the tray.
• Make sure the stack of paper is straight
before loading it. When adding paper, take
the remaining paper out and combine it into
a single stack with the new paper.
