Avoiding Paper Jams
NOTE: It is recommended that you try a limited sample of any print media you are considering using with the
printer before purchasing large quantities.
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.
