6 Clearing jams

By carefully selecting print media and loading it properly, you are able to avoid most jams. If jams do occur, complete the steps in the following sections. If jams occur frequently, see Avoiding jams.

Avoiding jams

Use appropriate print media (paper, transparencies, labels, and card stock) to help ensure trouble- free printing. See Print media guidelines for more information.
