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.

Selecting Preprinted Forms and Letterhead

When selecting preprinted forms and letterhead paper for the multifunction printer:

￿Use grain long papers for best results.

￿Use only forms and letterhead printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

￿Select papers that absorb ink, but do not bleed.

￿Avoid papers with rough or heavily textured surfaces.
