Tips for selecting and using print media
For the best results, observe the following guidelines.
• Always use media that conforms to the device specifications. For more
information, see 
Understand specifications for supported media.
• Load only one type of media at a time into a tray.
• Load media print-side down and aligned against the right and back edges of the
tray. For more information, see 
Load media.
• Do not overload the trays. For more information, see 
Understand specifications for
supported media.
• To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid the following
media:
◦Multipart forms
◦Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled
◦Media with cutouts or perforations
◦Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well
◦Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily

							Cards and envelopes
• Avoid envelopes that have a very slick finish, self-stick adhesives, clasps, or
windows. Also avoid cards and envelopes with thick, irregular, or curled edges, or
areas that are wrinkled, torn, or otherwise damaged.
• Use tightly constructed envelopes, and make sure the folds are sharply creased.
• Load envelopes with the flaps facing up.
Photo media
• Use the Best mode to print photographs. Note that in this mode, printing takes
longer and more memory is required from your computer.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack
up may cause smearing.
Transparencies
• Insert transparencies with the rough side down and the adhesive strip pointing
towards the back of the device.
• Use the Normal mode to print transparencies. This mode provides longer drying
time and ensures that the ink dries completely before the next page is delivered to
the output tray.
• Remove each sheet as it prints and set it aside to dry. Allowing wet media to stack
up may cause smearing.
Custom-sized media
• Use only custom-sized media that is supported by the device.
• If your application supports custom-sized media, set the media size in the
application before printing the document. If not, set the size in the print driver. You
might need to reformat existing documents to print them correctly on custom-sized
media.
Understand specifications for supported media
Use the Understand supported sizes and Understand supported media types and
weights tables to determine the correct media to use with your device, and determine
what features will work with your media.
