Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be
avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in
“Clearing Paper Jams” on page 7.6.
• Follow the procedures on page 3.4. Ensure that the adjustable
guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper tray. Ensure that the paper is below
the paper limit mark on the inside wall of the tray.
• Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print materials. See “Paper
Specifications” on page E.4.
• Ensure that the print side is facing down when loading paper
in a tray and in the Multi-purpose Tray.
