their respective trays; this is especially important for

 

 

 

transparencies because they tend to stick together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that you have loaded paper in the paper tray

 

 

 

and transparencies in the transparency tray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that the media is installed under the hooks at

 

 

 

the front of the media tray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If printing on transparencies and your printer has a 2nd

installed in the upper or middle tray slot.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean the paper-pick rollers ( P. 94 for instructions).

 

 

 

 

 

Frequent media jams.

 

Make sure that you use a high-quality laser paper:

 

 

 

60-105 g/m2 (16-28 lbs.) paper in the media trays and

 

 

 

75-165 g/m2 (20-44 lbs.) paper in the multi-purpose tray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you are using media that is 105 g/m2 (28 lbs.), check if

 

 

 

the Face Down media output setting is selected in the

 

 

 

driver. If it is, change the setting to Face Up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Use only recommended transparencies ( P. 152).

 

 

 

We cannot guarantee the results of other transparencies

 

 

 

in KX-PS8000 printers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Make sure that the media is installed under the hooks at

 

 

 

the front of the media tray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Do not overfill the media tray, as indicated by the red line

 

 

 

on the right side of the tray.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clean the paper-pick rollers ( P. 94 for instructions).
