avoid jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines:

•Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused media flat in a resealable bag.

•Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.

•Ensure that media loaded in the automatic document feeder and the paper tray lay flat and the edges are not bent or torn.

•Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in either the automatic document feeder or in the paper tray. Always load the same paper type and paper size in the automatic document feeder or in the paper tray.

•Adjust paper guides in the automatic document feeder and the paper tray to fit snugly against all media. Make sure the paper guides do not bend the media.

•Do not force media too far forward in the paper tray.

•Use paper types that are recommended for your HP Fax.
