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 in “Load Paper” on page 2.4. Insure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.

•Do not overload the automatic input tray. Insure the paper is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.

•Do not remove the paper from the input 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 the input tray.

•Use only recommended print media. See “Paper Specifications” on page A.2.

•Insure that the recommended print side is facing up when loading paper into both input trays.
