excessively curled.
Media is flat, especially on the
leading edge.
Double feeding (remove the media

sticking together).
The printer is on a flat, hard, stable,
level surface. Allowing buildup of static electricity
from fanning large quantities of
transparencies, or buildup of
transparencies in the output tray.
You have the correct media type
selected if you’re printing on
envelopes, labels, thick stock, or
transparencies.
Loading more than one type/size/
weight of media in a tray at the
same time.
You store media in a dry location
away from moisture and humidity. Overfilling the media input trays.
You always adjust the media width
regulation guides in the media tray
after inserting the media. Allowing the output tray to fill past
the limit of 500 sheets of 20 lb bond
(75 g/m
2 ) plain paper.
You load the media printing-side

* Many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate
the printing side—if you can’t determine which side of the media to print
on, remove the media from the tray, rotate the stack a half-turn, turn the
stack over, and then place it back in the tray.
