  • Page 131: Preventing Media Misfeeds

    Preventing Media Misfeeds Make sure that... Media matches the machine specifications. Media is flat, especially on the leading edge. The machine is on a hard, flat, level surface. You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity. You always adjust the media guides in Tray 1 after inserting the media (a guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media mis- feeds, and machine damage).

  • Page 132: Understanding The Media Path

    Understanding the Media Path Understanding the media path will help you locate media misfeeds. 1. Output tray 2. Imaging cartridge 3. Toner cartridge carousel 4. Tray 1 (Multipurpose tray) 5. Fuser unit Media path Clearing Media Misfeeds To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any piece of media left in the machine, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further misfeeds.
