Chapter 2 • Do not overload the trays. For more information, see Understand specifications for supported media. • To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following media: ◦ Multipart forms ◦ Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled ◦ Media with cutouts or perforations ◦ Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well ◦ Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily Cards and envelopes • Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged. • Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased. • Load envelopes with the flaps facing up. Photo media • Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes longer and more memory is required from your computer. • Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing. Transparencies • Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing towards the back of the device. • Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to the main tray. • Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack up may cause smearing. Custom-sized media • Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device. • If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized media.
