❍ Be sure to select the appropriate Media type (on the Settings tab) in
the BJC-5100 Series Printer Driver.

application or printer driver must support mirror image printing in

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.
❍ 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.
❍ 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 heavier stock.
❍ Do not use thicker paper than meets the specifications for this
printer. (See Appendix A, Specifications, for details.) Printing with a
paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head
nozzles may damage the BJ cartridges.
