6 tips to keep your printer in tip-top condition

Tip 1 Place your printer in a location that is well-ventilated and away from dust, moisture and the sun.

Tip 2 Use only Original cartridges. Non-original cartridges can lead to long term printer damage.

Tip 4 By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer to the following guidelines:

• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
  
  
• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
  
  
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
  
  
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
  
  
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
  
  
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
  
  
• Use only recommended print media

Tip 5 Clean or align your printheads when you notice your printing is streaked or has incorrect colours.
