Printing
This chapter covers tips for printing, how to print certain lists of information from your printer, and how to cancel a job.
Tips for successful printing
Tips on storing media
Store your media properly. For more information, see Storing media.
Avoiding jams
If you select appropriate paper or specialty media (transparencies, labels, and card stock), you are assisting in trouble-free
printing. For more information, see Hints for avoiding jams.
Note: We recommend that you try limited samples of any paper or specialty media you are considering
using with the printer before purchasing large quantities.
By selecting appropriate paper or specialty media and loading it properly, you are able to avoid most jams. See Loading
the trays for instructions on loading paper and specialty media into the standard tray, the optional 250-sheet legal size tray,
and the optional 530-sheet tray.
If you experience a jam, see Clearing jams for instructions. For hints to help you avoid jams, see Hints for avoiding jams.
