For more information, see Load media. • 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. 22 Use the device
