To help avoid jams or poor print quality: • Always use new, undamaged paper. • Before loading paper, know the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on the paper package. • Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand. • Do not mix media sizes, weights, or types in the same source; mixing results in jams. • Do not use coated papers unless they are specifically designed for electrophotographic printing. • Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when using a source that does not support auto size sensing. • Do not remove trays while a job is printing or Busy appears on the operator panel. • Make sure the Paper Type and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See "Paper Menu" in the Menus and Messages Guide on the publications CD for detailed information about these settings.) • Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the source. • Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. General information 1-19
