Paper Jams General Information ________________ Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any point along the paper path. When a jam occurs, the printer immediately stops, and the control panel displays an error message. This message tells you where the first sheet is jammed. All jammed sheets must be removed in order to restore the printer to normal operation. Once you clear a jam and close the cover, you may see a new jam message indicating another jammed sheet which must be cleared.

Color Printing _____________________ The printer driver supplied with this printer provides several controls for changing the color output of your printer. For general use the Auto settings will suffice, providing reasonable default settings that will produce good results for most documents. Many applications have their own color settings, and these may override the settings in the printer driver.
Viewing conditions A print can look very different under different lighting conditions. For example, the colors in a print may look different when viewed standing next to a sunlit window, compared to how they look under standard office fluorescent lighting. Printer driver color settings The driver settings for Manual color can change the appearance of a print. There are several options available to help match the printed colors with those displayed on screen.
How Your Software Application Displays Color Some graphics applications such as CorelDRAW® or Adobe® Photoshop® may display color differently from "office" applications such as Microsoft® Word. Please see your application’s on-line help or user manual for more information. Paper Type The type of paper used can also significantly affect the printed color. For example, a printout on recycled paper can look duller than one on specially formulated glossy paper.
