General Guidelines for Selecting or Loading Print Media
Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can cause paper jams and poor print quality.
Use only high-quality, copier-grade paper for the best print quality.
Avoid paper with embossed lettering, perforations, or a texture that is too smooth or rough. Paper jam may occur.
Store paper in its packaging until you are ready to use it. Place cartons on pallets or shelves, not on the floor.
Do not place heavy objects on top of the media.
Keep paper away from moisture or other conditions that can cause it to wrinkle or curl.
Store unused paper at temperatures ranging between 15°C and 30°C (59°F and 86°F). The relative humidity should be between 10% and 70%.
During storage, you should use moisture-proof wrap, such as a plastic container or bag, to prevent dust and moisture from contaminating the paper.
Avoiding Jams and Misfeeds
You can avoid most jams and misfeeds by following these guidelines:
Ensure that the media is properly loaded in the input tray.
Do not overload the input tray.
Do not remove media from the input tray while printing.
Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.
Do not use creased, damp, or curled paper.
Orient the media according to the instructions for the printer.
