Preventing paper feed and paper jam problems
If you have frequent paper feed or paper jam problems, try
these corrective measures:
❑Use a higher-quality paper, one that is not too thin or
rough. Make sure it is suitable for ink jet printers. If paper
still does not feed properly, you may need to use paper
from a different vendor. Also, some types of paper must be
fed one sheet at a time.
❑Fan the stack of pape r and straighten it be fore loading.
❑Adjust the edge guides against the stack of paper.
❑Position the output tray properly to keep the paper path
clear.
❑Be sure that you do not load too much paper in the sheet
feeder. You can load up to 100 sheets of plain paper, 70
sheets of special coated paper, 50 sheets of transparency
film, or 30 sheets of high-quality glossy paper. For
oversized pape r, load up to 30 shee ts.
❑Try turning the stack of paper over. Most packages of
paper indicate the best side for printing with an arrow on
the end of the package. Make sure the best side is loaded
printable side down into the sheet feeder or loaded
printable side up onto the tractor feeder.
❑When you use the tractor to print on labels, set the auto
tear-off feature to off. Otherwise continuous labels may
come off the backing and jam the printer.
❑Load sheets of labels into the manual feed slot one at a
time. Otherwise, they may not feed properly.
