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 1/6-inch (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 
upward.
Setting the Paper Thickness Lever
Before loading paper or other print media in the multi-purpose tray, set the paper 
thickness lever. The paper thickness lever adjusts the gap between the print head 
and the print paper to suit the paper’s thickness.
Set to the left (m) for paper and most other print media.
❑Set to the right (A) for envelopes.
❑If the paper thickness lever is not set correctly before printing, smudging and 
poor print quality may result.
If the paper thickness lever is not set correctly before printing, smudging and 
poor print quality may result.
To avoid paper jams, smearing, and other problems, never open the printer 
cover to set the paper thickness lever while the MultiPASS is printing.

❑The cartridge holder moves to the center of the unit.
4. Set the paper thickness lever.
❑Set to the left ( m ) for paper and most other print media.
❑Set to the right (A) for envelopes.
5. Press the cartridge button  .
❑The cartridge holder moves to its home position on the right side of the 
unit. Do not try to manually move or stop the cartridge holder as this may damage the 
MultiPASS.

Loading Paper
You can stack paper in the multi-purpose tray to feed it automatically into the 
MultiPASS. 
Guidelines
When automatically feeding a stack of paper in the multi-purpose tray, follow 
these guidelines:
❑To avoid paper jams and poor print quality, never try to print on damp, 
curled, wrinkled, or torn paper.
❑Do not try to load paper into the multi-purpose tray beyond the paper limit 
mark ( ) or beyond the tabs on the multi-purpose tray. Stacking too much 
paper may cause paper feeding or printing problems.
❑Make sure there are no gaps between the stack of paper and the paper guide or 
the right side of the multi-purpose tray. Do not try to manually move or stop the cartridge holder as this may damage the 
MultiPASS.
c
Certain environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or humidity, 
can cause some print media to feed incorrectly in the multi-purpose tray. If you 
have trouble with print media becoming skewed or multiple sheets being fed, do 
not stack them in the multi-purpose tray, but feed them one sheet at a time.

							2-10Paper Handling Chapter 2
❑Do not leave paper stacked in the multi-purpose tray for long periods of time; 
longer sheets of paper may become bent or curled over time. This may cause 
the paper to misfeed or jam.
❑Depending on the density of your printed pages, the ink may need time to dry. 
Within two or three seconds, the ink becomes smudge resistant. After drying 
for several minutes, the ink becomes water resistant.
❑If your printed page contains a large amount of graphics, the ink on the page 
may be damp due to the print density. Leave the page in the output tray for 30 
to 60 seconds to allow the ink to dry. Then remove the page being careful not 
to touch the document tray (if it is open). Should you dirty the document tray 
when removing the page, wipe it clean with a clean, soft, lint-free cloth 
moistened with water or diluted dishwashing detergent solution.
❑The capacity of the paper output tray is 50 sheets of paper. To reduce paper 
jams, remove paper from the output tray before the count reaches 50.
❑If paper curls after printing, remove it immediately; otherwise paper jams may 
occur.
❑The platen (a roller on the inside of the unit) may become inked if you print 
data beyond the width of the page. If this happens, clean the platen with a soft 
cloth (see page 6-6).
❑Let the paper run out before you refill the multi-purpose tray. Avoid mixing 
“new” paper with paper remaining in the tray.
❑Use cut-sheet paper only, not paper that comes on a roll.
❑Do not use paper that is thicker than specified for the MultiPASS. Printing 
with paper that is thick enough to come in contact with the print head nozzles 
may damage the BJ cartridge.

Paper Handling
❑Store paper and other media on a flat surface, and leave it in its wrapper until 
you are ready to use it. Store unused paper from opened packs in the original 
packing in a cool, dry location.
❑Store paper at 64.4°–75.2°F (18°–24°C), 40%–60% relative humidity.
Loading Paper in the Multi-Purpose Tray
1. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the left m (see page 2-6).
2. Pull the paper rest up until it stops. To avoid paper jams, smearing, and other problems, never open the printer 
cover to set the paper thickness lever while the MultiPASS is printing.

3. Move the paper guide to the left to match the size of your paper.
4. Prepare a stack of paper by fanning the edge that will feed into the unit first, 
and then tapping the stack on a flat surface to even its edges.

5. Insert the stack into the multi-purpose tray until it stops, so that the right edge 
of the stack is aligned with the right side of the multi-purpose tray.
❑The multi-purpose tray holds up to 100 sheets of plain paper — 20 lb. (75 
g/m2) paper.
6. Slide the paper guide snugly against the left edge of the stack.
The MultiPASS is now ready to print. Make sure the top of the stack is below the paper limit mark ( ).

Loading Envelopes
You can stack up to 10 envelopes in the multi-purpose tray to feed them 
automatically into the MultiPASS. 
1. Make sure the paper thickness lever is set to the right A (page 2-6). 
2. Arrange the stack of envelopes on a firm, clean surface, and press down firmly 
on the edges to make the folds crisp.
❑Press all the way around the envelopes to remove any curls and expel air 
from inside the envelopes. Also, press firmly on the area that corresponds 
to the edges of the flap. To avoid paper jams, smearing, and other problems, never open the printer 
cover to set the paper thickness lever while the MultiPASS is printing.

3. Remove any curling from the envelopes by holding the edge of the envelopes 
diagonally and bending them gently.
4. Make sure the flaps of the envelopes are flat and not curled.
5. Insert the stack of envelopes into the multi-purpose tray until it stops, so that 
the right edge of the stack is aligned with the right side of the multi-purpose 
tray. Then slide the paper guide snugly against the left edge of the stack.
❑Insert the envelopes with the print side up.
❑Feed the top of the envelope (return address portion) into the multi-
purpose tray first.
❑Make sure the back flap is toward the multi-purpose tray.
The MultiPASS is now ready to print envelopes.
