Place the stack of envelopes on a flat surface, flatten them to release any remaining air, and be sure that the edges are pressed tightly.
Page 43
Loosen the hard corners of the envelopes and flatten curls as shown in the figure. Align the edges of the envelopes on a flat surface. Gently load the stack of envelopes with the address side facing up and the flap side come the leftward. Be sure to insert the envelopes completely.
Page 44
CAUTION When loading envelopes, be careful not to cut your hands with the edges of the envelopes. IMPORTANT • Up to 10 sheets of envelopes can be loaded. • Confirm that there is sufficient space between the paper limit guides and the envelope stack.
Page 45
IMPORTANT • Be sure to align the paper guides with the width of the envelopes. If the guides are too loose or too tight, it may result in misfeeds or paper jams. • Do not touch the envelopes in the multi-purpose tray or pull them out while printing. It may result in a faulty operation.
Specifying the Paper Size and Type (Common for Cassette and Multi-Purpose Tray) Specifying the Paper Size At the factory, the paper size has already been set to <LTR>. Each time you change the paper size you load in the cassette or the multi-purpose tray, it is necessary to specify the paper size according to the following.
Specifying the Paper Type <PLAIN PAPER> is selected as the default paper type. When using paper other than plain paper, you can specify the paper type according to the following. Specifying the paper type can prevent poor copy quality, or the printout not being printed correctly.
Orientation of the Document and the Paper Loading When you load or place a document in the ADF or on the platen glass, the orientation of the document and the orientation of the paper in the cassette or in the multi-purpose tray are as shown below.
Selecting the Paper Output Area Face down paper output delivers paper with the printed side down on the output tray. Face up paper output delivers paper with the printed side up from the output area. Select the area depending on your purpose by opening or closing the face up cover.
Paper Type Paper Output Area face up Heavy Paper face down face up Transparencies face down face up Envelopes face down Face Down Paper Output Area The paper is delivered with the printed side down on the output tray. Paper is stacked in printed order. Close the face up cover.
Face Up Paper Output Area The paper is delivered with the printed side up from the face up paper output at the rear of the machine. This way is convenient for printing on transparencies, or envelopes which tend to curl, because the paper is delivered straight through out of the machine. Open the face up cover.

Maintenance This chapter explains how to clean the machine, replace the toner cartridge, and repack and transport the machine. Periodic Cleaning Your machine requires little periodic maintenance. This section describes the necessary cleaning procedures for your machine. CAUTION • When cleaning the machine's exterior or the platen glass, be sure to disconnect the power cord before cleaning the machine.
Cleaning the Scanning Area Wipe the scanning area (shaded area) with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth moistened with water, then wipe with a clean, soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Cleaning the ADF Area Black lines may appear in copies when the ADF is used to feed documents. This is caused by paste, ink, correction fluid, or other foreign matters in the read area of the platen glass (shaded area).
IMPORTANT • Paste, ink, correction fluid, and other foreign matter can soil the platen glass when you send a document through the ADF while the paste, ink, or correction fluid on the document is still wet. This is what causes black lines on copies. Whenever you load a document in the ADF, always check to make sure that any paste, ink, or correction fluid that is on the document is completely dry.
