Tips for avoiding paper jams
By selecting print material carefully and loading it properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams occur frequently, make sure you are following these tips to avoid jams.
•Follow the procedures in “Loading a stack of paper” on page 2.4 to load the paper properly. Make sure the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
•Do not overload the paper feeder. The automatic paper feeder holds up to 150 sheets and the manual paper feeder holds only one sheet at a time.
•Flex, fan and straighten the paper before loading.
•Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading into the automatic feeder. If jams occur when using the automatic paper feeder, try feeding one sheet at a time in the manual paper feeder.
•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp or highly curled paper.
•Do not mix paper types in the automatic paper feeder.
•Use only recommended print material.
•Make sure that the recommended print side is face up when loading the paper into the feeders.
•Keep print materials stored in a proper environment.
