the Platen well. In this case, use your hand to load the paper.
Sheets are held in place by suction through holes on the Platen . Although the suction may produce a
noise when paper is loaded in some positions, it does not indicate a problem. If the noise is distracting,
try moving the paper over slightly to the left or right (up to 1 mm [0.039 in]) while keeping it parallel to
the Paper Alignment Line .

The suction remains on for about 30 seconds during loading. If you cannot fi nish loading a sheet during
this time, pull the sheet away and reinsert it to start the suction again.
