Media Selection Tips
The following media tips can affect the productivity of
your printer. See the Supplies/Options Guide for specific
recommendations.
• Sub-standard paper can affect the quality of printing.
Buy quality paper designed for inkjet printer use with a
surface that will enhance your output. Paper designed
for laser printer use can smear because it is not able to
absorb ink.
• Make sure paper feeds smoothly. It should not be
restricted too tightly by paper guides nor should it be
too loose when it is fed into the printer.
• Do not feed any curled, crumpled or torn media into
the printer. Damaged media may jam the printer.
Always use paper in perfect condition and within the
specifications defined.
• Printing on both sides of the paper may increase the
risk of misfeeds or paper jams and may cause
smudging.
• If you remove the paper from or add paper to the Main
Tray, y ou must repeat the entire paper loading
operation. Always remove any paper that is already in
the printer and fan it together with the new paper you
are loading.
