Use the following guidelines when selecting and using prepunched paper: • Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of prepunched paper. • Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause paper jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. • Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard paper. • Weight guidelines for prepunched paper are the same as for non punched paper. Choosing paper Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures trouble-free printing. To help avoid paper jams or poor print quality: • Always use new, undamaged paper. • Before loading paper, you need to know the recommended print side of the paper you're using. This information is usually indicated on the paper package. • Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself. • Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same paper source; mixing results in paper jams. • Do not use coated papers. • Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support auto size sensing. • Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed. • Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See Paper Menu for detailed information about these settings.) • Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the paper source. • Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level surface. 21
