Selecting Paper

Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.

To help avoid jams or poor print quality:

Always use new, undamaged paper.

Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. 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. This may result in a paper jam.

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

Ensure the Paper Type setting is correct. (See "

Tray Settings

" for detailed information about these

settings.)

Ensure the paper is properly loaded in the tray.

Flex paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.
