Types of special paper to avoid

■

Do not use paper that is damaged, curled, wrinkled or an unusual 
shape.  

Figure 1-25

Before using paper that has holes in it, such as organizer 
sheets, you must 'fan' the stack to avoid paper jams and 
misfeeds. 

Figure 1-26

■

Do not use paper with perforations (holes) at the edges.

■

Do not put the punched holes near the actuator (paper 
sensor).

■

Do not use organizer sheets that are stuck together. The 
glue that is used might damage the printer. 

■

Do not load different types of paper at the same time in the 
paper tray because it may cause paper jams or misfeeds.

■

For proper printing, you must choose the same paper size 
from your software application as the paper in the tray.

■

If your application software does not allow you to select the 
paper size in its Print menu, you can use the control panel 
Menu buttons to go to the PAPER menu to change the 
paper size. For more information, see Chapter 3.
