Avoiding jams

The following hints can help you avoid jams.

Paper tray recommendations

Make sure the paper lies flat in the tray.

Do not remove trays while the printer is printing.

Do not load trays, the multipurpose feeder, or the envelope feeder while the printer is printing. Load them prior to printing, or wait for a prompt to load them.

Do not load too much paper. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the indicated maximum height.

Make sure the guides in the paper trays, multipurpose feeder, or envelope feeder are properly positioned and are not pressing too tightly against the paper or envelopes.

Push all trays in firmly after loading paper.

Paper recommendations

Use only recommended paper or specialty media. For more information, see “Paper types and weights supported by the printer” on page 72.

Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, bent, or curled paper.

Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading it.

Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same stack.

Make sure all sizes and types are set correctly in the printer control panel menus.

Store paper per the manufacturer's recommendations.

Envelope recommendations

To reduce wrinkling, use the Envelope Enhance menu in the Paper menu.

Have excessive curl or twist

Have windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
