Preventing Media Misfeeds

Make sure that...

Media matches the machine specifications.

Media is flat, especially on the leading edge.

The machine is on a hard, flat, level surface.

You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.

You always adjust the media guides in Tray 1 after inserting the media (a 

guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor print quality, media mis-

feeds, and machine damage).

You load the media printing-side up in the tray 

(many manufacturers place 

an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side)

.

Avoid...

Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.

Double feeding 

(remove the media and fan the sheets—they may be sticking 

together)

. 

Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.

Overfilling the trays. 

Allowing the output tray to overfill 

(the output tray has a 100 sheet capac-

ity—misfeeding may occur if you allow more than 100 sheets of media to 

accumulate at one time)

.
