Paper Guidelines
When selecting or loading paper, please remember the following:
❍ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn paper can
cause paper jams and poor print quality.
❍ Use cut-sheet paper only. You cannot use multipart paper.
❍ Whenever possible, hold the paper by the edges and avoid touching
the print side. Any scratching or soiling of the print side will
adversely affect the print quality.
❍ When storing paper, put the paper back in its original package and
avoid locations that are exposed to direct sunlight or that are subject
to high temperatures or humidity. To avoid bending or wrinkling
the paper, store the package on a flat surface.
❍ After printing, do not touch the print side until the ink is dry. If
water gets on the printed media, do not touch the print side until
the media is dry.
❍ When using graph paper, the lines may not match because the
1/6-inch line spacing of the printer is slightly less than that of
graph paper. Adjust the line spacing in your application.
❍ If the print density of your page is very high, light paper stock may
curl slightly due to the large amount of ink. If you need to print
dense graphics, try printing on thicker paper.
❍ Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this
printer. Printing with a paper that is thick enough to come in
contact with the print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge.
❍ When printing on legal size paper (or larger), do not extend the
paper output tray.
