Selecting Paper

Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
1. Always use new, undamaged paper.
2. Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information
is usually indicated on the paper package.
3. Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
4. Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper
jam.
5. Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Printing is displayed on the operator panel.
6. Make sure the Paper Type and Paper Size settings are correct.
7. Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the tray.
8. Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level
surface.
9. When curl is excessive, with plain paper, turn it over and reset it.
