• Do not open a paper package until you are ready to load it; leave paper sealed in its packing until it is ready to be used, especially if it will not be used for a long time.
  • Always load paper with the designated print side facing up. If neither side of the paper is designated as the print side, set the paper so that the side where the pack was sealed faces up.
  • Paper exposed to the air can cause the paper to curl and wrinkle, which can lead to paper jams.
  • If paper shows a high occurrence of burring or tearing during cutting (more than 0.1 mm), turn the stack over.
  • If the paper is frequently jamming or double feeding, remove the stack and fan it to remove static.
  • Hold the paper and fan it on both ends to allow air between the sheets.
  • Do not use paper with curl that exceeds 2 mm.
  • Paper that is slightly bent at the corners or on the leading edge can cause paper jams, so turn such paper over before loading it.
  • If the surface of the paper is marred by scratches or indentations, turn the paper over before loading it. Marred paper can cause more curl in the paper after fusing or lead to more damage by the stripper pawls, junction gates and ribs in the paper feed path of the machine.
