___________________________________ Routine Operations 6-7
Regardless of the media you select, we recommend that you test
samples before buying in quantity. For more information on the
different media, see “Printing Transparencies,” “Printing
Envelopes,” and “Printing Labels” later in this chapter.
Storing Media
How you store media can have a major impact on the final print
quality and your printer’s operation. Media stored incorrectly
drastically increases the chance of printer jams and reduced print
quality.
To avoid problems, always store media
• On a flat surface
• With the media flat (not on its side or end)
• In stacks only if necessary and if the stacks are not too
heavy or high
• In a dark, dry, cool area
• In its own wrapper
Feeding Media to the Printer
A major factor in printing is choosing the right method of feeding
your media to the printer. For most standard size, plain and laser
paper printing, feeding from the standard paper cassette is easiest.
For limited quantity, for odd-sized plain or laser paper printing, or
for transparencies, envelopes, and labels, you should use the fold
down paper tray.
When you print using a cassette or the fold down tray, media loads in
portrait orientation with the short edge first.
