Preventing Media Misfeeds 9-4
Preventing Media Misfeeds
Make sure that...
Media matches the machine specifications.
Media is flat, especially on the leading edge.
The machine is on a hard, flat, level surface.
You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.
You always adjust the media guides in Tray 1 after inserting the media (a
guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media mis-
feeds, and machine damage).
You load the media printing-side up in the tray
(many manufacturers place
an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side) .
Avoid...
Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
Double feeding
(remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking
together) .
Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
Overfilling the trays.
Allowing the output tray to overfill
(the output tray has a 100 sheet capac-
ity—misfeeding may occur if you allow more than 100 sheets of media to
accumulate at one time)
.
