Selecting Paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid jams or poor print quality:
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper you are using. This
information is usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams.
• Do not use coated papers.
• Remember to change the paper size setting when you use a source that does not support
auto size sensing.
• Do not remove trays while a job is printing.
• Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the source.
• Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level
surface.
