200 Paper Jam

26 Clearing paper jams

By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. (See the suggestions in Tips for avoiding paper jams.) If paper jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in this section.

To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear all paper from the paper path. Press Go to resume printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto; however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.

Identifying paper jam areas

See the diagram on page 68 for the path the paper travels through the printer and options, and areas where jams may occur. The path varies depending on the paper source and output bin.

Note: If a jam occurs in the multipurpose feeder, you receive a

message. The 260

optional envelope feeder. Both types of jams occur in the same way.
