There are several things you can do to reduce the occurrence of media jams.

￿Use media that matches the printer specifications.

￿Make sure the media is not folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.

￿Do not overfill the media cassette. The cassette has a fill-limit mark on the inside left side.

»Note: Ensure that the media in the cassette is flat, especially on the leading edge.

￿If you have problems with double feeding, remove the media from the cassette and fan the sheets. They may be sticking together.

»Note: Do not fan transparencies since this causes static.

￿Remove transparencies from the output tray immediately to avoid static buildup.

￿Do not allow the output tray to overfill.

»Note: The face-down output tray has a 250-sheet capacity. Jamming may occur if you allow media to accumulate more than 250 sheets at a time.

￿Store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity.

￿Make sure you’ve loaded the media printing-side up. Many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate the printing side. If you can’t deter- mine which side of the media to print on, remove the media from the cassette, rotate the stack a half-turn, turn the stack over, and then place it back in the cassette.

￿Ensure that you have the correct media type selected if you’re printing on enve- lopes, glossy stock, labels, thick stock, transfer media, or transparencies.

￿Ensure that the printer is on a hard, flat, level surface.

￿Ensure that the cassette only contains one type of media at a time.
