If front and rear side guide plates are not fixed upright, in other words, any gap is found between top and bottom edges of them, feeding trouble may be caused. In this case, follow the adjustment procedure below to properly fix the top and bottom edges of the side guide plates.

  1. Withdraw the tray to be adjusted.

    • Trays cannot be withdrawn when the machine is not powered. Be sure to turn the sub power switch ON.

  2. Place a sheet of paper of the desired size into the tray to be adjusted.

  3. Turn the bottom plate fixing knob counterclockwise to loosen it, then slide it to the rear side. Turn it clockwise to fix it in that position.

  4. Return the tray until it locks into place, then withdraw it after the bottom plate of the tray goes up completely.

    • When the elevation of tray bottom plate is completed, the Amount indicator of the tray changes to "  " on the [MACHINE] screen and [COPY] screen. Withdrawing the tray at this point, you will find that the bottom plate has been elevated to the top position.

  5. Align the side guide plate to the paper.

    • Turn the four side guide fixing knobs of the side guide plates counterclockwise to loosen them.

    • Align the front and rear side guide plate to the paper.

  6. Fix the position of side guide plate.

    • Turn the four side guide fixing knobs of the side guide plate clockwise to fix them.

    • Compare the two scales between the side guide fixing knobs to check that they are roughly equivalent.

  7. Turn the bottom plate fixing knob counterclockwise to release the lock.

    The bottom plate automatically goes down.

  8. Load paper with the print side up.

    • Align the stack of paper to the feed roller side of the tray.

    • Pushing the lock release lever of the rear guide plate, align it to the edge of paper.

    • Do not load above the limit level indicated on the side guide plate of the tray. Also, carefully load paper not to block the air nozzle.

    • Be sure that the rear guide plate is securely aligned to the paper. If any gap is left between the rear guide plate and paper, the machine cannot detect the correct paper size, and paper jams or machine trouble may be caused.

  9. Push in the tray until it locks into place.

    The paper level indicator of the tray changes from "  " to "  " on the [MACHINE] screen and [COPY] screen.
