Paper Jams	Your printer has been designed to provide reliable, trouble-
	free operation. Nonetheless, you may experience an
	occasional paper jam.
	When the printer detects a misfeed or a paper jam, the
	printing process is halted, and a Control Panel message is
	displayed.
	After the paper jam has been cleared, the printer will resume
	operation to complete the print job. Set the Jam Recovery
	option to On to guarantee that pages in the print engine
	when the jam occurs will be reprinted.
What Causes a	Paper jams occur most often when:
Paper Jam?	• The throughput paper stock does not meet specification.

	• Printer parts are worn and need to be replaced.
