To avoid jams

Make sure that nothing is blocking the paper path.

Do not overload the trays. See Understanding specifications for supported media.

Load paper properly. See Loading media.

When reinserting a tray into the printer, do so gently. Forceful insertion with a full stack of paper may cause sheets to slide up within the printer, causing the printer to jam or pick multiple sheets at one time.

Do not use media that is curled or crumpled.

Always use media that conforms with specifications. See Selecting print media.

Make sure the output tray is not overly full when you send a job to print.

Make sure media is aligned against the right side of a tray.

Make sure the media length and width guides are adjusted snugly against the media, but do not crinkle or bend it.
