Print Media Guidelines
Print media is paper, card stock, transparencies, labels, and envelopes. Your printer provides 
high quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your 
printer helps you to avoid printing problems. This chapter provides information on how to 
help you make print media selections, how to care for the print media, and how to load it in 
the tray 1, optional tray 2, or MPF.

Moisture Content
The amount of moisture in the paper affects both print quality and the ability of the printer to 
feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original wrapper until you are ready to use it. 
This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.
Grain Direction
Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either long grain, 
running the length of the paper, or short grain, running the width of the paper.

Selecting Prepunched Paper
Prepunched paper brands can differ in the number and placement of holes and in 
manufacturing techniques.
Use the following guidelines to select and use 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 jams when multiple sheets feed through the 
printer.
• Prepunched...
