5. PRECAUTIONS BEFORE USE

5-1. STACKING THE PAPER

Loosen the paper sufficiently andstack it on the paper feed table.• Insert the paper along the fixed guides until it

touches the guide of the paper feed gate lightly.• Flatten folded or curled paper before using them.

Stack the paper neatly on the paperfeed table.• Insert the paper along the fixed guides until it

touches the guide at the paper feed gate lightly.• If the paper is not stacked neatly and used, the

paper will not be fed or paper will be multi-fed.

Check that the ink on the paper hascompletely dried.• Use the paper after its ink has dried completely.• If not, not only will the unit become dirty, but

other problems (such as no-feeding) will occur.

5-2. STACKING ACCORDING TO

17

5-2. STACKING ACCORDING TO PAPER SIZE


5-3. STACKING PAPER FOR THE NORMAL MODE

Take note that the way to stack the paper differs according to the size of the paper.

For A3SR, A3, LD, A4, LT, and B5 paper:• Place the paper vertically as shown in the figure.

For A5 paper:• Place the paper horizontally as shown in the

figure.

There are two ways of stacking paperon the paper feed table in this mode.

When the paper is placed with its printed face up:

• Place the paper on the tables, starting from the toptable, in the order of its pages.

• The paper will be ejected onto the paper receivingtable with its printed face down.

When the paper is placed with its printed facedown:

• Place the paper on the tables, starting from thebottom table, in the order of its pages.

Use the method that makes it easier for you tocarry out operations.When using downstream processing devices,refer to the instruction manual provided forthem.

18


5-4. STACKING PAPER FOR THE ALTERNATIVE MODE

• Divide paper of the same page into two piles andstack them on odd and even paper feed tables(tables 1 and 2, table 3 and 4, tables 5 and 6, tables7 and 8, tables 9 and 10).

• The paper will be fed from either table of each pair(from the odd or even table).Normally, the paper will be fed from the oddtable, and when it runs out of paper, paper will befed from the even table.

• The process hereafter is the same as in ''5-3.Stacking Paper for the NORMAL Mode" on page17.

When the paper is placed with its printed face up.

When the paper is placed with its printed face down.

NoteWhen using peripherals, decide whether to place thepaper with its printed face up or down according to thespecifications of these devices.

• Stack the interleaves on the last table used.For example, if the first seven tables from the topare to be used, stack these interleaves on theseventh table. (See figure on the right.)

• The process hereafter is the same as in ''5-3.Stacking Paper for the NORMAL Mode" on page17.

• In this mode, paper can be stacked on all the paperfeed tables. The paper will be fed from the tables,starting from the top one, and ejected as one set.

• For details of stacking paper, refer to “5-3.Stacking Paper for the SINGLE Mode” on page17.

ALTERNATIVE Mode

• Stack paper of the same page on consecutive oddand even paper feed tables (tables 1 and 2, tables3 and 4, tables 5 and 6, tables 7 and 8, tables 9 and10). The paper will be fed from either table.Normally, paper will be fed from the upper table.The table will be switched to the lower oneautomatically when the upper table runs out ofpaper.

• When both tables have run out of paper, the NOPAPER alert will be displayed and the unit willstop.

• For details of stacking paper, refer to ''5-4.Stacking Paper for the ALTERNATIVE Mode"on page 18.

INTERLEAVING Mode

• An interleaf will be repeatedly inserted after thespecified number of sets. This enables you to sortthe sets. Up to 999 (sets) can be input.

1 Inputting between how many sets theinterleaf is to be insertedó Press the COLLATION MODE key for more than

0.5 seconds.• The COLLATION mode will be set.• “-000” will be displayed on the NO. OF SETS

6-5. DIP SWITCHES

• The dip switches are located inside the cover.• The functions of the dip switches and settings at factory are as shown in the figure below.

Dip Switch A• When a paper jam sensor of a paper feed table breaks down, as a temporary measure, this dip switch can be turned

on to stop the sensor.

Dip Switch B• When the multi-feed sensor breaks down, or cannot be used because special paper is used, this dip switch can be

used to stop the function of the multi-feed sensor.

Dip Switch C• When the paper full sensor, paper ejection unit (UNIT) jam sensor, or bridge paper jam sensor breaks down, this

dip switch can be used to stop the function.

Dip switches are used mainly as temporary measures. To use them, consult your service engineer.

7. WHAT TO DO WHEN...7-1. WHEN THE PAPER FEED TABLE ERROR LAMP LIGHTS UP IN GREEN

Cause• There is no more paper on the paper feed table.

Correction• When there is not enough paper in the set ejected

onto the paper receiving table or downstreamprocessing device, Err1 will be displayed on theNO. OF SETS window. Remove one set. It willnot be included in the number displayed on thewindow.

• Stack some paper and then press the START/STOP key. The error lamp will go off andoperations will start again.

7-2. WHEN THE PAPER FEED TABLEERROR LAMP BLINKS IN GREEN

Cause• Paper has not been fed from the paper feed table.

Correction• There is not enough paper in the set ejected onto

the paper receiving table or downstreamprocessing device. Remove sets for the number (1or 2) next to Err displayed on the NO. OF SETSwindow. It will not be included in the numberdisplayed on the window.

• Loosen the paper and then stack some paper.Press the START/STOP key. The error lamp willgo off and operations will start again.
