Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them 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 ÒLoading a Stack of PaperÓ on page 6 to load paper properly.
¥Do not overload the paper feeder. The automatic feeder can hold up to 150 sheets and the manual feeder can hold only one sheet at a time.
¥Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading it.
¥Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into the automatic feeder. If jams do occur using the automatic feeder, try feeding one sheet at a time in the manual feeder.
¥Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
¥Do not mix paper types in the automatic feeder.
¥Use only recommended print materials.
¥Make sure the recommended print side is face up when loading the feeders.
¥Keep print materials stored in an acceptable environment.
