Clear jams, Common causes of jams | HP P1102W Laser CE658A#BGJ

Clear jams

When clearing jams, be careful not to tear jammed paper. If a small piece of paper remains in the product, it could cause additional jams.

Common causes of jams

●The input tray is loaded incorrectly or is too full.

NOTE: When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the entire stack. This helps prevent multiple feeds and reduces media jams.

●The media does not meet HP specifications.

●The product might need to be cleaned to remove paper dust and other particles from the paper path.

Loose toner might remain in the product after a media jam. This toner clears up after a few sheets print.

CAUTION: If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric.
