Loading the Print Media

Keep the following in mind when selecting or loading media for your MultiPASS C50:

JYou can stack plain paper, envelopes, and other media in the MultiPASS C50's sheet feeder. The maximum size of the stack depends on the medium:

Medium

Maximum stack size

Plain paper

100 sheets

 

(maximum 10 mm stack height)

Envelopes

10 envelopes

Transparencies

50 sheets

Back print ®lm

10 sheets

JTo avoid paper jams and poor print quality, never try to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper.

JStore paper and other media ¯at, and leave it in its wrapper until you are ready to use it. Store unused paper from opened packs in the original packing in a cool, dry location.

JStore paper at 18!-24!C, 40%-60% relative humidity.

JIf you have trouble with sheets skewing, double-feeding, or jamming when using coated paper, transparencies, or back print ®lm in the sheet feeder, use manual feeding instead. (These problems are more common at cooler temperatures.)

JLet the paper run out before you re®ll the sheet feeder. Avoid mixing ºnewº paper with paper remaining in the sheet feeder.

JUse cut-sheet paper only, not paper that comes on a roll (like fax paper).

JWhen using graph paper, the lines may not match because the 4.23 mm line spacing of the MultiPASS C50 is slightly less than that of graph paper.

JIf the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print dense graphics, try printing on heavier stock.

JDo not use paper that is thicker than speci®ed for the MultiPASS C50. Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge. For complete paper speci®cations, see ºPrinterº on page A-6.
