Print media tasks and tips
Preventing jams
Avoid most jams by correctly loading print media.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp print media.
• Never mix media types within a tray.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
• Do not exceed maximum stack height.
• Make sure guides and backstop are positioned lightly against the loaded print media.
• Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
• Do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl
– Are stuck together
– Are damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments
– Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
– Are self-sealing
• Use only recommended print media. See the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com for more information about which print media provides optimum results for your printing
environment.
• See the Card Stock & Label Guide for detailed information prior to purchasing large quantities of customized print
media.
