.
•
To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following
media:
◦
Multipart forms
◦
Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
◦
Media with cutouts or perforations
◦
Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
◦
Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily
Cards and envelopes
•
Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows.
Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that
are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
•
Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
•
Load envelopes with the flaps facing up to the right or the back of the tray.
Photo media
•
Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer
and more memory is required from your computer.
•
Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack
up may cause smearing.
