Note:
Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.

Avoiding Jams

❏ Use only recommended print media.
❏ See "Loading Print Media in the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 30 to load print media
properly.
❏ Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the stacked print media height does not
exceed the marks indicated on the paper width guides.
❏ Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
❏ Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try
feeding one sheet at a time through the multipurpose feeder (MPF).
❏ Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
❏ Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
❏ Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media.
❏ Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
❏ Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
❏ Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
