Store your print media properly. For more information, see "Storing Print Media" .
Avoiding Paper Jams

If you experience a jam, see "Troubleshooting Guide" for instructions.
Sending a Job to Print
To support all of the printer features, use the printer driver. When you choose Print from a software program, a window representing the printer driver opens.
Select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to print. Print settings selected from the driver override the default menu settings selected
from the operator panel or Tool Box.
You may need to click Preferences from the initial Print box to see all of the available system settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in
the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information.
To print a job from a typical Windows ® application:
1. Open the file you want to print.
2. From the File menu, select Print.
3. Verify that the correct printer is selected in the dialog box. Modify the system settings as needed (such as the pages you want to print or the number of
copies).
4. Click Preferences to adjust system settings not available from the first screen, and then click OK.
5. Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.

There are several methods for canceling a print job.
Canceling From the Operator Panel
