Troubleshooting

Avoid the following:

•Media that is specially designed for ink-jet printers with polyester coating.

•Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.

•Fanning transparencies since this causes static.

•Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.

•Loading dog-eared (folded corners), stapled, or punched media in the document feeder.

•Overfilling the trays.

•Allowing the output tray to overfill.

•Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.
