Selecting paper

Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensure trouble-free printing.

To help avoid jams or poor print quality:

Always use new, undamaged paper.

Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This information is
usually indicated on the paper package.

Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.

Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.

Do not use coated papers.

Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size
sensing.

Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed on the operator panel.

Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See

Paper Menu

for

detailed information about these settings.)

Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source.

Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface.
