Media Loading and Handling Guidelines

Don’t use any cleaning sheets included with special media; they may jam inside the printer.

The type of paper or other media you use is one of the most important factors in determining the quality of your printed output. The following tips will help you get the best results on any type of paper or other media:

❏Always handle sheets by the edges, and don’t touch the printable surface.

❏Be sure to load the printable (whiter or glossier) side of the media face up in the sheet feeder.

❏Load paper only up to the arrow mark on the left edge guide.❏Remember to select the correct Media Type and Paper Size for your paper.

❏If the special media has protective sheets between the sheets of media, be sure to remove the protective sheets before printing. After printing, cover the printed side of your media with these sheets before storing.

❏Use ink jet papers within one year of purchase. Use glossy film and transparencies within six months. Return unused sheets and envelopes to their original packages as soon as possible. See “Paper” on page 2 for more media storage information.

❏Set the thickness lever to the + position when you print on envelopes or if ink smears when you print on other thick media. Open the printer cover and position the lever as shown below. Then close the cover and print. (Make sure you return the lever to the 0 position before you print on regular media.)
