Tips for Successful Printing
Tips on Storing Print Media
Store your print media properly. For more information, see "Storing Print Media" on page 207.
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 the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 211
• "Loading Print Media in the Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI)" on page 219
• "Avoiding Jams" on page 331
If you experience a jam, see "Jam" on page 358 for instructions.
Sending a Job to Print
Install the printer driver to use all the features of the printer. When you choose Print from an application, 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 have precedence over the default menu settings selected from the operator
panel or Tool Box .
You may need to click Preferences from the initial Print box to see all 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.
