By selecting appropriate print media and loading it properly, you can avoid paper jams. See the following instructions on loading print media: "Loading Print Media in Standard and Optional Trays" (which includes the tray 1, the optional 550-sheet feeder, and the optional 1100-sheet feeder) "Loading Print Media in the MPF" "Avoiding Jams" If you experience a jam, see "Clearing Jams" for instructions. Sending a Job to Print To support all of the printer features, use the printer driver. When you choose Print from a software program, a window representing the printer driver opens. Select the appropriate settings for the specific job you are sending to print. Print settings selected from the driver override the default menu settings selected from the operator panel. You may need to click Preferences from the initial Print box to see all of the available system settings you can change. If you are not familiar with a feature in the printer driver window, open the online Help for more information. To print a job from a typical Windows® application: 1. Open the file you want to print. 2. From the File menu, select Print. 3. Verify that the correct printer is selected in the dialog box. Modify the printer settings as appropriate (such as the pages you want to print or the number of copies). 4. Click Preferences to adjust system settings not available from the first screen, and then click OK.
