• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more information,
see 
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Do not print on both sides of transparencies, envelopes, photo paper, glossy media,
or paper lighter than 16 lb bond (60 g/m
2) or heavier than 28 lb bond (105 g/m2). Jams
might occur with these media types.
• Several kinds of media require a specific orientation when you print on both sides of
a page, such as letterhead, preprinted paper, and paper with watermarks and
prepunched holes. The device prints the first side of the media first. Load the media
with the front side facing down.

Change copy speed or quality from the control panel
The device provides three options that affect copy speed and quality:
•Best produces the highest quality for all paper and eliminates the banding (striping)
effect that sometimes occurs in solid areas. Best copies slower than the other quality
settings.
•Normal delivers high-quality output and is the recommended setting for most of your
copying. Normal copies faster than Best and is the default setting.
•Fast copies faster than the Normal setting. The text is comparable to the quality of
the Normal setting, but the graphics might be lower quality. The Fast setting uses
less ink and extends the life of your print cartridges.
To change the copy quality
1.Make sure you have paper loaded in the input tray.
2.Load your original print side down on the right front corner of the glass or print side
up in the document feeder tray.
If you use the document feeder tray, place the pages so that the top edge of the

area of a full-size page. In order to do this without changing the proportions of the
original or cropping the edges, the device might leave an uneven amount of white
space around the edges of the paper.
