Media Loading and Handling Guidelines

Don't use any cleaning sheets included with special
paper; they may jam inside the printer.
The following tips help you get the best results on any type of
paper:
Always handle sheets by the edges, and don't touch the
printable surface.
When you load paper, make sure the printable side is
facing up.
Load paper only up to the arrow mark on the left edge
guide.
Return unused sheets and envelopes to their original
package as soon as possible. See "Paper" on page 2 for more
storage information.
If your paper package includes protective sheets, cover the
printed side of your paper with these sheets before stacking
your paper.
Use ink jet papers within one year of purchase; use glossy
film and transparencies within six months.

If your media has a cut corner, position it in the upper right
corner in the sheet feeder.
It's best not to use the Maximum printable area setting
in the printer software when printing on paper with a cut
corner. Part of your document may print in the cut out
area.
When you print on envelopes or other thick media, set the
paper thickness lever to the + position as shown below.
(Return the lever to the 0 position before printing on
regular media.)
