Preventing Print Media Jams

Many printer problems are caused by improper handling of media.
There are several things you can do to reduce the chance of media
jamming in your printer:
n
Use print media that meets the guidelines set for the printer. (See
the "Consumable Supplies" section of appendix B, "Technical
Specifications," in the Reference , for more complete information.)
n
Make sure print media is not folded or wrinkled.
n
Do not overfill the multipurpose tray or the paper cassettes. The
multipurpose tray holds about 100 sheets of paper, 50 transpar-
encies, or 40 labels; the standard cassettes hold about 250
sheets of paper. An optional 500-sheet paper cassette is also
available.
n
If you have problems with multiple sheets of paper or transparen-
cies feeding through the printer, remove the paper or transparen-
cies from the tray or cassette and fan the edges. The sheets may
be sticking together.
n
Store media away from moisture and humidity. They may cause
media to turn up at the edges or wrinkles to occur. The recom-
mended relative humidity during operation is 20%-80%.
n
Load media printing side down. The printing side of paper is indi-
cated on the paper wrapping.
