:Load only one type and size of media at a time.

:Make sure that all media is free of tears, dust, wrinkles, curled or bent edges, staples, and paper clips.

:Avoid media with cutouts or perforations otherwise ink may stain the inside of the machine.

:Avoid adhesive labels and media that is heavily textured or embossed. Adhesive labels may come off inside the machine and cause subsequent media to jam.
