Paper Handling
Print Media Guidelines
Follow these guidelines when selecting or loading print media:
❏ Attempting to print on damp, curled, wrinkled, or torn print media
can cause 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
4 mm 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 unit.
Printing with paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the
print head nozzles may damage the BJ cartridge.
❏ Many media have a “right” side for printing. If you are using such a
medium, make sure you set it in the multi-purpose tray with the
print side facing upwards.
