Clearing Jams

Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to avoid paper jams. See "Print Media Guidelines" for more information.

NOTE: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended to try a sample first.

Avoiding Jams

•Use only recommended print media. See "Print Media Guidelines" for more information.

•See "Loading Print Media in the Standard 250-Sheet Tray and the Optional 250-Sheet Feeder" and "Loading Print Media in the SSF" to load print media properly.

•Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the print media stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the load-line labels in the tray.

•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.

•Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try feeding one sheet at a time through the single sheet feeder.

•Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.

•Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.

•Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media when using the standard 250-sheet tray and the optional 250-sheet feeder. Also, the recommended print side should be face down when using the single sheet feeder.

•Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see "Storing Print Media."

•Do not remove the feeding tray during a print job.

•Push the tray in firmly after loading.

•Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
