Print media tasks and tips
Preventing jams
Avoid most jams by correctly loading print media.
Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp print media.
Never mix media types within a tray.
Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
Do not exceed maximum stack height.
Make sure guides and backstop are positioned lightly against the loaded print media.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together.
Do not use envelopes that:
Have excessive curl
Are stuck together
Are damaged in any way
Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments
Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
Have postage stamps attached
Have exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
Are self-sealing
Use only recommended print media. See the Card Stock & Label Guide available on our Lexmark Web site at
www.lexmark.com for more information about which print media provides optimum results for your printing
environment.
