Avoiding jams

The following hints can help you avoid jams.

Paper tray recommendations

•Make sure the paper lies flat in the tray.

•Do not remove trays while the printer is printing.

•Do not load trays, the multipurpose feeder, or the envelope feeder while the printer is printing. Load them prior to printing, or wait for a prompt to load them.

•Make sure the guides in the paper trays, multipurpose feeder, or envelope feeder are properly positioned and are not pressing too tightly against the paper or envelopes.

Envelope recommendations

•To reduce wrinkling, use the Envelope Enhance menu in the Paper menu.
