Avoiding Paper Jams

l "Loading Print Media in Tray 1"
l "Loading the Single Sheet Feeder"
l "Avoiding Jams"
If you experience a jam, see "Clearing Jams" for instructions.
Sending a Job to Print
To support all of the printer features, use the printer driver. When you choose Print
from a software program, a window representing the printer driver opens.
Select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to print. Print settings selected from the driver override the default menu settings selected
from the Tool Box.
You may need to click Preferences from the initial Print box to see all of the available system settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in
the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information.
To print a job from a typical Windows

number of copies).
4. Click Preferences to adjust system settings not available from the first screen, and then click OK.
5. Click OK or Print to send the job to the selected printer.
