Selecting paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
•
Always use new, undamaged paper.
•
Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated
on the paper package.
•
Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
•
Do not mix media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
•
Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing.
•
Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when using a source that does not support auto size
sensing.
•
Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy appears on the operator panel.
•
Make sure the Paper Type and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See "Paper Menu" in the Menus and
Messages Guide on the publications CD for detailed information about these settings.)
•
Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source.
•
Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
