Putting paper into a Xerox machine's paper tray is a straightforward process involving opening the tray, placing the paper, and adjusting the guides to fit snugly.
Loading Paper into the Paper Tray
According to demonstrations like those for the Xerox 5300 Series, the standard method for adding paper to a tray involves a few key steps to ensure proper feeding and prevent jams.
Here’s a breakdown of the process:
- Open the Tray: First, locate and open the paper tray on your Xerox machine. Trays usually pull out from the machine.
- Place the Paper: Place the stack of paper into the open tray. Ensure the paper is neatly stacked and aligned before inserting it.
- Adjust the Guides: Once the paper is in the tray, you need to adjust the paper guides. These guides hold the paper in place and ensure it feeds correctly into the machine.
- To adjust the guides, you typically need to pinch the adjustment mechanism.
- Then, slide the guides forward until they are nice and tight against the edges of the paper stack. This prevents the paper from shifting.
Ensuring the guides are properly adjusted is crucial for reliable performance and print quality. Follow these steps to keep your Xerox machine ready for printing and copying tasks.
