General Guidelines for Selecting or Loading Print Media

Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.

Use only high-quality, copier-grade paper for the best print quality.

Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or rough. Paper jams may occur.

Store paper in its packaging until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.

Do not place heavy objects on top of the media, whether or not it is packaged.

Keep paper away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.

Store unused paper at temperatures ranging between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). The relative humidity should be

between 10% and 70%.

During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture

from contaminating the paper.

Avoiding Jams and Misfeeds

You can avoid most jams and misfeeds by following these guidelines:

Use paper that follows the printer's media guidelines. For more information, see

.

Make sure that the paper is properly loaded in the input tray.

Do not overload the input tray.

Do not remove paper from the input tray while printing.

Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.

Do not use creased, damp, or curled paper.

Orient the paper according to the instructions for the printer.
