Selecting Paper
Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
1. Always use new, undamaged paper.
2. Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is
usually indicated on the paper package.
3. Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed.
4. Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam.
5. Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress.
6. Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray.
7. Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level
surface.
