Use the following guidelines when selecting and using prepunched paper:
• Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-
punched paper.
• Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already
packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause paper jams when multiple sheets feed through
the printer.
• Prepunched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require
more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as that of standard paper.
• Weight guidelines for prepunched paper are the same as for non punched paper.
Choosing paper
Proper paper loading helps prevent paper jams and ensures trouble-free printing.
To help avoid paper jams or poor print quality:
• Always use new, undamaged paper.
• Before loading paper, you need to know the recommended print side of the paper you’re
using. This information is usually indicated on the paper package.
• Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
• Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same paper source; mixing results in paper
jams.
• Do not use coated papers.
• Do not forget to change the Paper Size setting when you use a source that does not support
auto size sensing.
• Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing or Busy is displayed.
• Make sure the Paper Type, Paper Texture, and Paper Weight settings are correct. (See Paper
Menu for detailed information about these settings.)
• Make sure the paper is properly loaded in the paper source.
• Flex paper back and forth. Do not fold or crease the paper. Straighten the edges on a level
surface.
