●Optimize paper usage by printing on both sides of the paper.

●Change the print quality in the printer driver to a draft setting. The draft setting uses less ink.

●Do not clean the printhead unnecessarily. Doing so wastes ink and shortens the life of the cartridges.

●Make sure the paper is loaded correctly when loading from the input tray or document feeder.

12 Chapter 2 Get started

ENWW

●Do not overload the tray or document feeder.

●To prevent jams, poor print quality, and other printing problems, avoid loading the following paper in the tray or document feeder:

—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

—Media that contains staples or clips

Work with trays

By default, the printer draws paper from Tray 1. If Tray 1 is empty and Tray 2 is installed and contains paper, the printer draws paper from Tray 2.

You can change the behaviors using the following features:

●Default Tray: Set the default tray from which the printer draws paper first when paper of the same size is loaded in both Tray 1 and Tray 2.

●Tray Lock: Lock a tray to prevent it from accidental use; for example, when you have loaded special paper (such as letterhead or preprinted paper).

The printer will not use a locked tray even when the other tray is empty.

NOTE: For better experience, load only one type of paper in a tray.

NOTE: Tray 2 supports only plain paper.
