■Do not overload the paper tray. See the tray label for the maximum fill line indicators.

■If excessive jams occur, use paper, transparencies, or other specialty media from a new package.

■Use Phaser Professional Solid Ink Transparencies for vibrant, saturated prints with smooth color transitions.
