For the best results, observe the following guidelines.

1. Always use media that conforms to the printer specifications. For more information, see Media specifications.
2. Load only one type of media at a time into a tray or automatic document feeder (ADF).
3. When loading the trays and ADF, make sure the media is loaded correctly. For more information, see Load media or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).

4. Do not overload the tray or ADF. For more information, see Load media or Load an original in the automatic document feeder (ADF).
5. To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid loading the following media in the trays or ADF:
   1. Multipart forms

2. Media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled

3. Media with cutouts or perforations

4. Media that is heavily textured, embossed, or does not accept ink well

5. Media that is too lightweight or stretches easily

6. Media that contains staples or clips

NOTE: To scan, copy, or fax documents that contain pages that do not conform to these guidelines, use the scanner glass. For more information, see Load an original on the scanner glass.
