Printing

To disable tray linking, set the Paper Type to a unique value in each one of the trays. If all the trays do not have the same type of print media when they are linked, you could mistakenly print a job on the wrong paper type.

Tips for successful printing

Storing print media

Properly storing the media helps ensure trouble-free printing. Use the following guidelines:

For best results, store media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21°C (70°F) and the relative humidity is 40%.

Store cartons of paper on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

If you store individual packages of paper out of the original carton, make sure they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.

Do not place anything on top of the paper packages.

Avoiding paper jams

By carefully selecting print media and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in Clearing paper jams. If jams occur frequently, make sure you follow these tips to avoid jams:

See Loading standard trays and optional trays to load paper properly. Make sure the adjustable guides are positioned correctly before closing the tray.

Do not overload the paper trays. Make sure the paper is under the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray relative to the size and weight of the paper you are using.

Do not remove trays while print jobs are in process.

Do not mix reams of paper.

Remove the top and bottom sheets of a ream before loading paper.

Do not force paper into the multipurpose feeder when you load it; otherwise, it may skew or buckle.

Make sure the paper width and length guides on the paper sources are adjusted correctly.

Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading it.

Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into the multipurpose feeder. If jams occur using the multipurpose feeder, try feeding one sheet at a time.

Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled paper.

Do not mix paper types or paper sizes in one tray.

Use only recommended print media. See Media guidelines.

Make sure the recommended print side is face up when placed in the multipurpose feeder or high capacity feeder.

Make sure the recommended print side is face down when loading trays 1 through 4.

Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. See Media guidelines.

If paper consistently jams in the tray, reduce the paper stack height to level A in the tray.
