Using the Printer Chapter 3
When selecting or loading paper, keep these guidelines in mind:
❏
Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can
cause paper jams and poor print quality.
❏
Use cut sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
❏
If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may
curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print heavy
graphics, try printing on a heavier stock.
❏
Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this printer.
Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the
print head nozzles may damage the print head.
For complete paper specifications, see Appendix A, Specifications.
Loading Paper
You can stack paper in the sheet feeder to load it automatically, or you can
manually feed one sheet at a time. The path that the paper travels through
the printer is the same for automatic and manual feeding.
You can place approximately 30 sheets of plain paper (20 lb or 75 g/m
2
) in
the sheet feeder at a time.
You can print on coated papers, transparencies, and back print film. These
are special papers that you may want to use for certain presentations.
You can stack approximately 30 sheets of coated paper and 10 sheets of
transparency film or back print film in the sheet feeder. However, these
special media may not advance correctly under unusual environmental
conditions (such as extreme temperatures and humidity). If you have
trouble with special papers becoming skewed or feeding multiple sheets,
do not stack them in the sheet feeder. Load them one sheet at a time.
N
Place at least one sheet of plain paper in back of a stack of transparencies or
back print film.
