Selecting Paper
Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
1) Always use a new, undamaged paper.
2) Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usu-
ally 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.
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.
