Tips for avoiding problems

Here are some suggestions to help you avoid problems with paper jams:

mMake sure the paper lines up straight and doesn’t enter the printer skewed at an angle.

mMake sure the paper guides keep the paper evenly aligned, but don’t set the guides so tight that the paper stack bulges.

mMake sure the paper is as flat as possible; if the leading edge is curled, straighten it out before you put it in the multipurpose tray.

Loading three-hole punched paper in the multipurpose tray

You can load a stack of three-hole punched paper in the multipurpose tray for automatic printing. You can also print on three-hole punched paper manually by feeding one sheet at a time.

This illustration shows how to load a stack of three-hole punched paper in the multipurpose tray.

Place three-hole punched paper so the holes line up along this edge of the tray.

Slide the width guides so they rest against the paper.

If the paper bows out even slightly, the guides are too tight.
