This section explains how to change the paper size for the optional POD Deck Lite-A1.

1. Register the desired paper size for the POD Deck Lite-A1 in [Paper Settings] (Settings/Registration).

For instructions on registering a paper size for the POD Deck Lite-A1, (see "Registering the Paper Type for the Paper Source".)

2. Press the open button to open the paper deck.

The inside lifter automatically descends to the paper loading position.

3. Remove all of the loaded paper, the paper size sheet, and deck base plate.

4. Remove the blue screw on the rear edge retainer using a coin or something similar.

5. Remove the rear edge retainer.

6. Remove the two blue screws on the outer size change plate using a coin or something similar.

• Do not loosen or remove any screw other than the two blue screws on the outer size change plate.

7. Remove the outer size change plate.

8. Align the outer size change plate with the marks for the desired paper size that you want to load.

• Make sure to align the outer size change plate properly with the marks for the desired paper size. There are two locations with marks for the paper size on the top of the outer size change plate. Align the outer size change plate with the desired marks.

• Make sure that the size change plate is properly aligned with the marks for the desired paper size. If the size change plate is not properly aligned, the pod deck lite may become damaged.

9. Fix the outer size change plate with the two blue screws using a coin or something similar, while slightly holding its center front portion and pressing it towards you.

Fix the screws by turning them in the clockwise direction.

Fasten the left blue screw before fastening the right blue screw.

• If you fasten the blue screws without pressing the outer size change plate towards you, the plate may be fixed at an angle. If you use the paper deck with a tilted outer size change plate, paper may be fed as slanted, poor print quality may result, and paper jams may occur. Therefore, make sure to fasten the blue screw while pressing the outer size change plate towards you.

10. Align the rear edge retainer with the marks for the desired paper size.

• If the rear edge retainer is not aligned properly, paper may become jammed, the quality of the image may be degraded, or the inside of the main unit may become dirty. Make sure to load paper with the rear edge retainer properly aligned with the paper size marks on the top and base of the pod deck lite.

11. Fix the rear edge retainer with the blue screw using a coin or something similar.

Fix the screws by turning them in the clockwise direction.

• There are two screw holes for fastening the rear edge retainer. Make sure that it is fastened properly (aligned with the marks for the desired paper size) to prevent it from being installed at an angle.

12. Remove the two blue screws on the inner size change plate using a coin or something similar.

13. Remove the inner size change plate.

• Hot air that is blown by the fan may warm the inner size change plate.

14. Align the inner size change plate with the marks for the desired paper size.

• Make sure to align the inner size change plate properly with the marks for the desired paper size. There are two locations with marks for the paper size on the top of the inner size change plate. Align the inner size change plate with the desired marks.

• Make sure that the size change plate is properly aligned with the marks for the desired paper size. If the size change plate is not properly aligned, the pod deck lite may become damaged.

15. Fix the inner size change plate with the two blue screws using a coin or something similar, while slightly holding its center front portion, and pressing it away from you.

Fasten the right blue screw before fastening the left blue screw.

• Make sure to align the inner size change plate properly with the marks for the desired paper size. There are two locations with marks for the paper size on the top of the paper deck. Align the inner size change plate with the desired marks.

• Make sure that the size change plate is properly aligned with the marks for the desired paper size. If the size change plate is not properly aligned, the pod deck lite may become damaged.

16. Insert the correct deck base plate that matches the new paper size into the paper deck.

If you are not using the deck base plate, move the paper deck away from the main unit and hang the deck base plate on the hook on the outer left side of the paper deck.

• Always use the deck base plate when loading paper into the paper deck. If you load paper without setting the deck base plate, the loaded paper may hang over the lifter, and paper jam may occur.

• Never place the deck base plate in the empty part of the paper deck. Doing so may lead to a malfunction of the machine.

17. Place the paper size sheet that matches the new paper size into the paper deck.

• Never place the paper size sheet in the empty part of the pod deck lite. Doing so may lead to a malfunction of the machine.

18. Load the paper stack into the paper deck, and then lower the feeding support roller.

• When loading paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the paper.

• To load paper larger than LGL, first close the pod deck lite to raise the inside lifter, open the pod deck lite, and then load the paper. If you try to load paper larger then LGL when the inside lifter is at its lowest position, the paper may not be loaded properly, and paper jams may occur.

• Never place paper or any other items in the empty part of the pod deck lite. Doing so may lead to a malfunction of the machine.

• When loading paper, make sure that the height of the paper stack does not exceed 13/16" (20 mm). If the height of the paper stack exceeds 13/16" (20 mm), the edges of the paper stack may become curled or creased, and poor print quality may result.

19. Place a magnet label indicating the new paper size on the paper deck.

20. Close the paper deck.

The inside lifter automatically rises, and prepares the paper deck for feeding.

• When closing the paper deck, be careful not to get your fingers caught, as this may result in personal injury.
