3Printing Basics

Paper and ink handling tips

Keep the media supplies, trays, and ink in covered containers. Dust and dirt can be transferred to the paper, resulting in poor print quality.

To avoid having the paper stick together, gently fan the media before loading it into the media tray.

Paper that has been sitting out of its sealed wrapper can become distorted, causing paper jams. Keep paper sealed until you are ready to use it for printing.

Do not use paper that has been creased or wrinkled.

Some thinner grades of paper may curl and cause media feeding problems. Always load curled paper concave-side down in the media tray.
