Print media refers to paper, labels, envelopes, and coated paper among others. Your printer provides high-quality printing on a variety of print media. Selecting the appropriate print media for your printer helps avoid printing troubles. This section describes selecting print media, caring for print media, and loading the print media in the standard 250-sheet tray.

Paper

For the best print quality in color, use 75 g/m^2 (20 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. For the best print quality in black and white, use 90 g/m^2 (24 lb) xerographic, grain long paper. It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media.

When loading paper, identify the recommended print side on the paper package, and load the paper accordingly. See "Loading Print Media in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and the Optional 250-Sheet Feeder" and "Loading Print Media in the SSF" for detailed loading instructions.

Paper Characteristics

The following paper characteristics affect print quality and reliability. It is recommended that you follow these guidelines when evaluating new paper stock.

Weight

The tray automatically feeds paper weights from 60 g/m^2 to 216 g/m^2 (16 lb to 80 lb bond) grain long. The single sheet feeder automatically feeds paper weights from 60 g/m^2 to 216 g/m^2 (16 lb to 80 lb bond) grain long. Paper lighter than 60 g/m^2 (16 lb) may not feed properly, and could cause paper jams. For best performance, use 75 g/m^2 (20 lb bond) grain long paper.

Curl

Curl is the tendency of print media to curve at its edges. Excessive curl can cause paper feeding problems. Curl usually occurs after the paper passes through the printer, where it is exposed to high temperatures. Storing paper

unwrapped, even in the paper tray, can contribute to paper curling prior to printing and cause feeding problems regardless of humidity. When printing on curled paper, straighten the paper and then insert it into the single sheet feeder.

Smoothness

The degree of paper smoothness directly affects the print quality. If the paper is too rough, the toner does not fuse on to the paper properly, resulting in poor print quality. If the paper is too smooth, it can cause paper feeding problems. Smoothness between 150 and 250 Sheffield points produces the best print quality.

Moisture Content

The amount of moisture in the paper affects both the print quality and the ability of the printer to feed the paper properly. Leave the paper in its original packaging until you are ready to use it. This limits the exposure of the paper to moisture changes that can degrade its performance.

Grain Direction

Grain refers to the alignment of the paper fibers in a sheet of paper. Grain is either grain long, running the length of the paper, or grain short, running the width of the paper. For 60 g/m^2 to 135 g/m^2 (16 lb to 36 lb bond) paper, grain long fibers are recommended. For paper heavier than 135 g/m^2 (36 lb bond), grain short is preferred.

Fiber Content

Most high-quality xerographic paper is made from 100 % chemically pulped wood. Paper containing fibers such as cotton may lead to degraded paper handling.

To ensure the best print quality and feed reliability, use 75 g/m^2 (20 lb) xerographic paper. Business paper designed for general business use also provides acceptable print quality. Only use paper able to withstand high temperatures without discoloring, bleeding, or releasing hazardous emissions. The laser printing process heats paper to high temperatures. Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the paper you have chosen is acceptable for laser printers.

It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. When choosing any print media, you should consider the weight, fiber content, and color.

Unacceptable Paper

The following paper types are not recommended for use with the printer:

  • Chemically treated paper used to make copies without carbon paper, also known as carbonless paper, carbonless copy paper (CCP), or no carbon required (NCR) paper.
  • Preprinted paper with chemicals that may contaminate the printer.
  • Preprinted paper that can be affected by the temperature in the fuser.
  • Preprinted paper that requires a registration (the precise print location on the page) greater than ± 0.09 inches, such as optical character recognition (OCR) forms.

In some cases, you can adjust registration with your software program to successfully print on these forms.

  • Coated paper (erasable bond), synthetic paper, and thermal paper.
  • Rough-edged, rough or heavily textured surface paper, or curled paper.
  • Recycled paper containing more than 25% post-consumer waste that does not meet DIN 19309.
  • Multiple-part forms or documents.
  • Print quality may deteriorate (blank spaces or blotches may appear in the text) when printing on talc or acid paper.

Selecting Paper

Proper paper selection helps prevent jams and ensures trouble-free printing.

To help avoid jams or poor print quality:

• Always use new, undamaged paper.
- Before loading the paper, identify the recommended print side of the paper. This information is usually indicated on the paper package.
- Do not use paper that you have cut or trimmed.
- Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same source. This may result in a paper jam.

- Do not remove the tray while printing is in progress.

- Ensure that the paper is properly loaded in the tray.

- Flex the paper back and forth, and then fan them. Straighten the edges of the stack on a level surface.

Selecting Pre-Printed Media and Letterheads

When selecting pre-printed and letterhead paper for the printer:

- Use grain long paper for best results.

- Use only forms and letterheads printed using an offset lithographic or engraved printing process.

- Select paper that absorb ink, but does not bleed.

- Avoid paper with rough or heavily textured surfaces.

- Use paper printed with heat-resistant inks designed for use in xerographic copiers. The ink must withstand temperatures of 225^ (437 °F) without melting or releasing hazardous emissions.

- Use inks that are not affected by the resin in the toner or the silicone in the fuser. Inks that are oxidation-set or oil-based should meet these requirements; latex inks might not. If you are in doubt, contact your paper supplier.

Selecting Pre-Punched Paper

When selecting pre-punched paper for the printer:

- Test paper from several manufacturers before ordering and using large quantities of pre-punched paper.

- Paper should be punched at the paper manufacturer and not drilled into paper already packaged in a ream. Drilled paper can cause jams when multiple sheets feed through the printer. This may result in a paper jam.

- Pre-punched paper can include more paper dust than standard paper. Your printer may require more frequent cleaning and feed reliability may not be as good as standard paper.

- Weight guidelines for pre-punched paper are the same as non-punched paper.

Printing on a Letterhead (Pre-Printed and Pre-Punched Paper)

Check with the manufacturer or vendor to determine whether the pre-printed letterhead that you have selected is acceptable for laser printers.

Page orientation is important when printing on pre-printed paper such as letterhead and pre-punched paper. The following table shows the orientation when loading letterheads in the tray or feeders. For other pre-printed and pre-punched paper, load the paper by reference to the following table.

Envelopes

Depending on the envelopes, it is possible to expect variable levels of wrinkling. It is recommended that you try a sample first before buying large quantities of any print media. See "Loading Envelopes in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and the Optional 250-Sheet Feeder" or "Loading an Envelope in the SSF" for instructions on loading an envelope.

When printing on envelopes:

- Use only high-quality envelopes that are designed for use in laser printers.

- Set the print media source to the single sheet feeder or the standard 250-sheet tray. Set the paper type toEnvelope, and select the correct size of envelope from the printer driver.

- Use envelopes made from 75 ~g / m^-2 (20 lb bond) paper. You can use up to 105 g / m^2 (28 lb bond) weight for the envelope feeder as long as the cotton content is 25 % or less. Envelopes with 100 % cotton content must not exceed 90 ~g / m^2 (24 lb bond) weight.

- Use only freshly unpackaged, undamaged envelopes.

- Use envelopes that can withstand temperatures of 205^ (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions. If you have any doubts about the envelopes you are considering, check with the envelope supplier.

- Adjust the guide to fit the width of the envelopes.

- To load an envelope into the single sheet feeder, insert the envelope with the flaps closed and the short-edge of the envelope facing into the printer. The print side must be facing down.

- See " Loading Envelopes in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and the Optional 250-Sheet Feeder" or "Loading an Envelope in the SSF" for instructions on loading an envelope.

- Use one envelope size during a print job.

- Ensure that the humidity is low because high humidity (more than 60% ) and the high printing temperatures may seal the envelopes.

- For best performance, do not use envelopes that:

  • Have excessive curl or twist
  • Are stuck together or damaged in any way
  • Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
  • Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
  • Have an interlocking design
    – Have postage stamps attached
  • Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed or closed position
  • Have nicked edges or bent corners
    – Have rough, cockle, or laid finishes

Labels

Your printer can print on many labels designed only for use with laser printers.

When selecting labels:

  • Label adhesives, face sheet (printable stock), and topcoats must be able to withstand temperatures of 205^ (401 °F) and pressure of 25 pounds per square inch (psi).
  • Use labels that can be without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.
  • Do not use label sheets with a slick backing material.

DELL 2155cdn - Labels - 1

NOTICE: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.

When printing on labels:

- Use labels that can withstand temperatures of 205^ (401 °F) without sealing, excessive curling, wrinkling, or releasing hazardous emissions.

- Set the paper type to Label from the printer driver.

- Use "Standard Tray" for label.

- Do not print through "Single Sheet Feeder" for label.

- Do not load labels together with paper in the same tray.

- Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the die-cut.

- Do not print within 1 mm (0.04 inches) of the edge of the label, of the perforations, or between die-cuts of the label.

- Do not print a label through the printer more than once.

- Portrait orientation is preferred, especially when printing bar codes.

- Do not use labels that have exposed adhesive.

- Use full label sheets. Partial sheets may cause labels to peel off during printing, resulting in a jam.

- Do not use label sheets that have adhesive to the edge of the sheet. It is recommended that zone coating of the adhesive is done at least 1 mm (0.04 inches) away from edges. Adhesive material contaminates your printer and could void your warranty.

DELL 2155cdn - Labels - 2

CAUTION: Otherwise the printer occur in a jam and contaminate your printer and your cartridges with adhesive. As a result, could void your printer and cartridge warranties.

Storing Print Media

For proper print media storage, the following guidelines will help to avoid media feeding problems and uneven print quality.

- Store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21^ (70 °F) and the relative humidity is 40 %.

- Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.

  • If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so that the edges do not buckle or curl.
  • Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Scanning

Scanning Overview

Use your Dell ^™ 2155cn/2155cdn Multifunction Color Printer to turn pictures and text into editable images on your computer.

DELL 2155cdn - Scanning Overview - 1

NOTE: The images used and procedures described in this manual are those of Dell 2155cdn Multifunction Color Printer.

The Dell 2155cn/2155cdn Multifunction Color Printer provides several ways to scan your document. There are two main scanning types. One is operated on the printer side without using the scanner driver, and the other is operated on the computer side using a software and the scanner driver. See the available features below to help you find the information you need.

- Scanning - With scanner driver

- Scanning - Without scanner driver

Scanning - With scanner driver

- Scan into a graphic software such as PaperPort ^ (bundled software for Windows) and Adobe ^ Photoshop ^ using a TWAIN driver (Supporting USB and Network connections for both Microsoft Windows and Apple Macintosh using a graphic software) See "Scanning Using the TWAIN Driver."

- Scan into a Microsoft's default program such as Windows Photo Gallery and Microsoft Paint, using a Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) driver (Supporting USB and Network connections on Windows only) See "Scanning Using the Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Driver."

- Scan and send the scanned document to computer connected via USB cable (Supporting USB connection for both Microsoft® Windows® and Apple Macintosh using bundled software tool of ScanButton Manager)

Using the feature of "Scan to Application" on the operator panel of your printer, the scanned image is saved in the location of your computer specified with the ScanButton Manager.

See "Scanning From the Operator Panel."

Scanning - Without scanner driver

- Scan and save the scanned document in a USB memory

See "Scanning to a USB Memory."

- Scan and send the scanned document by e-mail

See "Sending an E-Mail With the Scanned Image."

- Scan and send the scanned document to computer or server connected to network

See "Scanning to Network."

The resolution setting to use when you scan an item depends on the item type and how you plan to use the image or document after you scan it to your computer. For the best results, use these recommended settings.

Type Resolution
Documents 300 dpi black-and-white or 200 dpi grayscale or color
Documents of poor quality or that contain small text400 dpi black-and-white or 300 dpi grayscale
Photographs and pictures 100–200 dpi color or 200 dpi grayscale
Images for an inkjet printer 150–300 dpi
Images for a high-resolution printer 300–600 dpi

Scanning above these recommended resolutions may exceed the capabilities of the application. If you require a resolution above those recommended in the above table, you should reduce the size of the image by previewing (or pre-scan) and cropping before scanning the image.

PaperPort

PaperPort that comes bundled with this printer can be used to manage all your documents. You can organize, search, and share all of your scanned documents.

DELL 2155cdn - PaperPort - 1

NOTE: PaperPort, is supported only on Windows.

DELL 2155cdn - PaperPort - 2

NOTE: You can use PaperPort's built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to copy text from scanned documents so that you can use and edit the text in any text editing, word processing, or spreadsheet program. The OCR process requires textual images scanned at 150–600 dpi and 300 dpi or 600 dpi is recommended for graphics.

If you prefer to use another application, such as Adobe PhotoShop, you must assign the application to the printer by selecting it from the list of available applications through the Select Software button each time you start scanning. If you do not assign an application to the Select Software button, PaperPort is automatically selected when you start scanning. See "Printer Settings Utility."

Dell ScanCenter

Dell ScanCenter is a PaperPort application that enables you to scan items and send them directly to PaperPort or other programs on your computer without first running PaperPort. Dell ScanCenter runs as a separate application from the Windows start menu and displays the Dell ScanCenter bar. For more information about using Dell ScanCenter, refer to the PaperPort's Help menu.

By default, the Printer Status window launches only when an error occurs. When an error occurs, the error message appears on the Printer Status window. You can set the Printer Status window to always launch when printing in Printing Status Window Properties.

You can also check toner level, quantity of paper remaining or the configuration of options for the local printer.

Status Monitor Console

User Setup Disk Creating Tool

The User Setup Disk Creating Tool program located in the MakeDisk folder of the Utilities folder on the Drivers and Utilities CD and the printer drivers located on the Drivers and Utilities CD are used to create driver installation packages that contain custom driver settings. A driver installation package can contain a group of saved printer driver settings and other data for things such as:

  • Print orientation and Multiple Up (document settings)
    • Water marks
  • Font references

If you want to install the printer driver with the same settings on multiple computers running the same operating system, create a setup disk in a floppy disk or in a server on the network. Using the setup disk that you have created will reduce the amount of work required when installing the printer driver.

  • Install the Dell™ 2155cdn Multifunction Color Printer driver in the computer on which the setup disk is to be created.
  • The setup disk can only be used on the operating system on which the disk was created or computers running the same operating system. Create a separate setup disk for each of the operating systems.

Understanding Fonts

Typefaces and Fonts

A font is a set of characters and symbols created with a distinct design. The distinct design is called a typeface. The typefaces you select add personality to a document. Well-chosen typefaces make a document easier to read.

The printer has numerous resident fonts in PCL 5/PCL 6. See "Resident Fonts" for a listing of all resident fonts.

Weight and Style

Typefaces are often available in different weights and styles. These variations modify the original typeface so you can, for example, emphasize important words in text or highlight book titles. The different weights and styles are designed to complement the original typeface.

Weight refers to the thickness of the lines that form the characters. Thicker lines result in darker characters. Some words commonly used to describe the weight of a typeface are bold, medium, light, black, and heavy.

Style refers to other typeface modifications, such as tilt or character width. Italic and oblique are styles where the characters are tilted. Narrow, condensed, and extended are three common styles that modify the character widths.

Some fonts combine several weight and style modifications; for example, Helvetica BdOb. A group of several weight and style variations of a single typeface is called a typeface family. Most typeface families have four variations: regular, italic (oblique), bold, and bold italic (bold oblique). Some families have more variations, as the following illustration for the Helvetica typeface family shows:

HelveticaABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica ObliqueABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica BoldABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica Bold ObliqueABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica NarrowABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica Narrow ObliqueABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica Narrow BoldABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890
Helvetica Narrow Bold ObliqueABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ1234567890

Pitch and Point Size

The size of a font is specified as either a pitch or point size, depending on whether the font is fixed space or proportional.

In fixed space fonts, each character has the same width. Pitch is used to specify the size of fixed space fonts. It is a measure of the number of characters that will print in one horizontal inch of type. For example, all 10-pitch fonts print 10 characters per inch (cpi) and all 12-pitch fonts print 12 cpi:

Courier10 Pitch1234567890
Courier-Bold10 Pitch1234567890
Courier12 Pitch123456789012
Courier-Bold12 Pitch123456789012

DELL 2155cdn - Pitch and Point Size - 1

In proportional (or typographic) fonts, every character can have a different width. Since proportional fonts have characters with different widths, the font size is specified in point size, not pitch. Point size refers to the height of the characters in the font. A point is defined as 1/72 inch. The characters in a font printed at 24 point will be twice as large as the characters in the same font printed at 12 point.

The following illustration shows samples of a font printed in different point sizes:

48 point 36 point

24 point

18 point

12 point

10 point

The point size of a font is defined as the distance from the top of the tallest character in the font to the bottom of the lowest character in the font. Due to the definition of point size, different fonts printed at the same point size may appear quite different in size. This is because there are other font parameters that affect how the font looks. However, the point size of a font is an excellent specification of the relative size of a font. The following examples illustrate two very different proportional fonts at 14 point:

ITC Avant Garde abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz ITC Zapf Chancery abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts

The printer uses both bitmapped and scalable fonts.

Bitmapped fonts are stored in print memory as predefined patterns of bits that represent a typeface at a specific size, style, and resolution. The following illustration shows an example of a character from a bitmapped font.

DELL 2155cdn - Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts - 1

text_image P

Bitmapped fonts are available in different type styles and point sizes as downloadable fonts.

Scalable fonts (also called outline fonts) are stored as computer programs that define the outlines of the characters in the font. Each time you print characters from a scalable font, the printer creates a bitmap of the characters at the point size you choose and saves it temporarily in print memory.

DELL 2155cdn - Bitmapped and Scalable Fonts - 2

P P P P

These temporary bitmapped fonts are deleted when you turn off or reset the printer. Scalable fonts provide the flexibility of printing in many different point sizes.

Your printer uses different scalable font formats for downloading fonts to the printer. PCL 5/PCL 6 uses Intellifont and TrueType scalable fonts. There are thousands of different scalable fonts available in these different font formats from numerous font suppliers.

If you plan to use many downloadable bitmapped or scalable fonts or if you plan to use many different sizes of scalable fonts, you may need to purchase additional memory for your printer.

Resident Fonts

Your printer is equipped with resident fonts stored permanently in print memory. Different fonts are available in PCL 5/PCL 6. Some of the most popular typefaces, like Courier and TimesNew, are available for all printer languages.

The following table lists all the fonts resident in your printer. See "Printing Font Sample List" for instructions on how to print samples of the fonts. You can select the resident fonts from your software program or from the operator panel.

Symbol Sets

A symbol set is the collection of alphabetic and numeric characters, punctuation, and special characters available in the font you select. Symbol sets support the requirements for different languages or specific applications, such as math symbols used for scientific text.

In PCL 5/PCL 6, a symbol set also defines which character will print for each key on the keyboard (or more specifically, for each code point). Some applications require different characters at some code points. To support multiple applications and languages, your printer has 36 symbol sets for the resident PCL 5/PCL 6 fonts.

Not all font names support all of the symbol sets listed.

Maintaining Your Printer

Maintaining Your Printer

You need to complete certain tasks to maintain optimum print quality.

DELL 2155cdn - Maintaining Your Printer - 1

NOTE: The images used and procedures described in this manual are those of Dell™ 2155cdn Multifunction Color Printer.

Determining the Status of Supplies

If your printer is connected to the network, the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool can provide instant feedback on remaining toner levels. Type the printer's IP address in your web browser to view this information. To use the E-Mail Alert Setup feature that notifies you when the printer requires new supplies, type the desired e-mail address in the e-mail list box.

On the operator panel, you can also confirm the following:

- Any supply or maintenance items that require attention replacing (However, the printer can only display information about one item at a time).

- Amount of toner remaining in each toner cartridge.

Conserving Supplies

You can change several settings in your printer driver to conserve toner cartridge and paper.

Supply Setting Function

Toner cartridge

Toner Saving Mode in the Advanced tab

This check box allows the users to select a print mode that uses less toner. The image quality will be lower when this feature is used.

Supply Setting Function

Print mediaMultiple Up in the Layout tabThe printer prints two or more pages on one side of a sheet. Values for Multiple Up are 2 Up, 4 Up, 8 Up, 16 Up, or 32 Up. Combined with the duplex setting, Multiple Up allows you to print up to 64 pages on one sheet of paper. (32 images on the front and 32 on the back)

Ordering Supplies

You can order consumables from Dell on the Internet when using a networked printer. Type the IP address of your printer in your web browser, launch the Dell Printer Configuration Web Tool, and click the Order Supplies at: to order toner for your printer.

You can also order toner cartridges by the following method.

1 Click Start→ All Programs→ Dell Printers→ Additional Color Laser Software→ Dell Supplies Management System.

b Select a URL from the Select Reorder URL list.
c Click Visit Dell printer supplies ordering web site.

4 If ordering by phone, call the number that appears under the Order by Phone heading.

Storing Print Media

To avoid potential paper feeding problems and uneven print quality, there are several things you can do:

  • To achieve the best possible print quality, store print media in an environment where the temperature is approximately 21^ (70 °F) and the relative humidity is 40 %.
  • Store cartons of print media on a pallet or shelf, rather than directly on the floor.
  • If you store individual packages of print media out of the original carton, ensure that they rest on a flat surface so the edges do not buckle or curl.
  • Do not place anything on top of the print media packages.

Storing Consumables

Store consumables in their original packaging until you need to use them. Do not store consumables in:

• Temperatures greater than 40 °C (104 °F).
- An environment with extreme changes in humidity or temperature.
- Direct sunlight.
- Dusty places.
• A car for a long period of time.
- An environment where corrosive gases are present.
• A humid environment.

The following sections explain how to determine the adjustment values for the fast scan and the slow scan using Chart 1 and Chart 2.

Fast Scan

On the Chart 1 of the color registration chart, find the straightest lines where the two black lines and the colored line are most closely aligned for each color (Y, M, and C). If you find the straightest line, make a note of the value (-9 to +9) indicated by the straightest line for each color.

When the value is 0 for each color, you do not need to adjust the color registration for the fast scan.

When the value is not 0, enter the value using the procedure in "Entering Values."

Clearing Jams

Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to avoid paper jams. See "Print Media Guidelines" for more information.

DELL 2155cdn - Clearing Jams - 1

NOTE: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended to try a sample first.

Avoiding Jams

  • Use only recommended print media. See " Print Media Guidelines" for more information.
  • See "Loading Print Media in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and the Optional 250-Sheet Feeder" and "Loading Print Media in the SSF" to load print media properly.
  • Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the print media stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the load-line labels in the tray.
  • Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
  • Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try feeding one sheet at a time through the single sheet feeder.
  • Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
  • Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
  • Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media when using the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet feeder. Also, the recommended print side should be face down when using the single sheet feeder.
  • Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see "Storing Print Media."
  • Do not remove the feeding tray during a print job.
  • Push the tray in firmly after loading.
  • Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.

- Overtightening the guides may cause jams.

- Wipe the retard rollers in the tray or single sheet feeder with a cloth that is slightly dampened with water if jams caused by misfeeding paper occur frequently.
