Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in “Clearing Paper Jams” on page 6.3.

Follow the procedures on page 3.2. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.

Do not overload the tray.

Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing.

Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.

Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

Do not mix paper types in a tray.

Use only recommended print materials. See “Paper Specifications” on page 8.1.

Ensure that the recommended print side of print materials is facing up in the tray.
