Storing print media, Avoiding jams | Lexmark C77x instruction

Understanding paper and specialty media guidelines

Storing print media

Use the following guidelines to avoid paper feeding problems and uneven print quality.

•Store paper 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 paper packages.

•Store paper in its original wrapper until you load it into the MFP.

Avoiding jams

Automatic document feeder

Note: Papers such as carbonless, very light papers and magazine paper should be copied using the flatbed. Do not use the ADF for this type of paper.

Your automatic document feeder is designed to handle most paper types. However, if you are unsure if your document will cause a jam in the automatic document feeder, we recommend that you scan it using the flatbed.

The following cannot be properly fed by the automatic document feeder:

•Paper with clip or staple attached

•Paper with ink not totally dry

•Paper with inconsistent thickness, such as envelopes

•Paper with wrinkles, curls, folds, or tears

•Tracing paper, coated paper, carbonless paper

•Paper that is too large or too small (use flatbed instead)

•Items other than papers, such as cloth, metal, or OHP film

•Notched paper

•Paper with an odd (non-rectangular) shape

•Photographic paper

•Paper with perforations on its side

•Very thin paper
