Loading Print Media
Loading print media properly helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
Before loading any print media, identify the recommended print side of the print media.
This information is usually indicated on the print media package.
Before Loading
The following instructions describe how to avoid paper jams:
• Use only laser print media. Do not use ink jet paper in the printer.
• Use only recommended print media.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure that the print media stack height
does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the load-line labels in the tray.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
• Flex, fan, and straighten the print media before loading.
• Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
• Do not mix different print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media
source.
• Make sure that the recommended print side is facing up when you load the print
media.
• Do not remove the feeding tray during printing.
• Make sure that all cables that connect to the printer are attached correctly.
• Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
• If jams caused by misfeeding paper occur frequently, wipe the retard rollers in the
tray with a cloth moistened with water.
• Do not perform a printing operation with the bypass tray removed.
