Fixing Paper Problems
You can avoid most paper handling problems by doing the
following:
◗
Use smooth, high-quality media designed for ink jet
printers that meets the media specifications on page B-2.
◗
Follow all loading and handling instructions included with
the media.
◗
Load the media with the printable side face up, as described
in the Getting Started guide or on page 3-3.
If you have problems with paper feeding, paper jams, or ejected
paper, check here for solutions.
