TIPS FOR AVOIDING PAPER JAMS
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined on page 64.
•Follow the procedures on page 34. Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
•Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the inside of the tray.
•Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
•Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
•Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
•Do not mix paper types in a tray.
