Clearing jams
Occasionally, media can become jammed during a print job. The following are some of the causes:
Trays are loaded improperly or overfilled.
Tray 2 or tray 3 is removed during a print job.
The top cover is opened during a print job.
The media that is being used does not meet HP specifications (see “Media specifications” on page 134).
The media that is being used is outside of the supported size range (see “Media specifications” on page 134.)

Note | Find and remove the jammed media by using the instructions provided in this section. If the |
location of the jam is not obvious, look first in the print cartridge area. Be sure to remove all torn pieces of media that remain in the printer.
Loose toner might remain in the printer after a jam. This should clear after a few sheets have been printed. See “Loose toner” on page 105.
