Configuring The Windows 95 Printer Driver - QMS Magicolor WX User Manual

Some printer problems are caused by improper handling of media or
use of the wrong media and consumables. The following section pro-
vides information about correctly handling media and preventing
jams. Several things you can do to reduce print media jamming in
your printer are
n
Set the printer driver for the print media type and size currently in
the cassette. (See "Configuring the Windows 95 Printer Driver" on
page 2-2 or "Configuring the Windows NT 4.0 Printer Driver" on
page 2-14.)
n
Use QMS-supplied toner and developer, and use QMS-recom-
mended print media.
n
Make sure print media is not torn, folded, or wrinkled.
n
Do not overfill the media cassette: it holds 250 sheets of paper,
50 transparencies, or label stock up to the upper-limit mark on the
cassette.
» Note:
n
If you have problems with double feeding, remove the paper from
the cassette and fan the edges. The sheets may be sticking
together. (However, do not fan transparencies; this can create
electrostatic buildup that can cause jamming.)
n
Store print media away from moisture and humidity. Moisture and
humidity may cause media to turn up at the edges or wrinkles to
occur. The recommended relative humidity during operation is
60%-70%.
n
Load media printing side up, top edge first. The printing side of
media is indicated on the wrapping, so leave it in its wrapping
until you're ready to load it.
n
Keep the paper-feed rollers and the manual-feed belts clean.
Dirty rollers and belts can draw media unevenly into the printer.
See "Cleaning the Rollers" in chapter 5, "Maintenance."
