Paper guidelines
For the best results, remember the following:
• Do not load paper or other materials above the MAX line on 
the rear paper guide.
• Do not store extra reams of paper in the paper trays.
• Do not use wrinkled, torn, curled, or folded paper.
• Use the paper sizes and weights shown in the Recommended 
Materials List.
• Follow the suggestions in the Specialty Media Guide: Hints 
and Tips.
• Do not mix sizes or weights of paper in a paper tray.
• Ensure that the tray is set for the correct paper size, weight 
range, and paper type.
Copy paper is fed into the digital press in one of two positions: 
long edge feed (LEF) or short edge feed (SEF). Long edge refers 
to the long edge of the paper. When you see LEF, position the 
paper so the long edge is fed first. Short edge refers to the short 
edge of the paper. When you see SEF, position the paper so the 
short edge is fed first.
NOTE: It is imperative that you load paper with the paper guides 
adjusted properly. If the paper is NOT loaded properly, it skews 
and jams occur.
