following these tips to avoid jams.
• Follow the procedures in “Load Paper” on page 2.5 to load
the paper properly. Make sure the adjustable guides are
positioned correctly.

the paper capacity mark on the inside of the paper tray.

• Do not mix paper types in the paper tray.
• Use only recommended print media. See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.2.

when loading the paper into Tray 1 or optional Tray 2 and
facing up when loading into the Multi-Purpose Tray.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
