Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in “Clearing Jams” on page 7.2. If jams occur frequently, make sure that you are following these preventative tips:

•Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 1.11 to load paper properly. Make sure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.

•Do not overload the paper. Up to 100 sheets can be loaded in the paper bin at a time.

•Envelopes with self-stick adhesives may cause wrinkling, creasing, or even jams and may even damage your product.

•Fan stacks of labels or transparencies before loading them into the paper bin. If jams occur, try feeding one sheet at a time.

•Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or highly curled paper.

•Do not mix paper sizes in the paper bin.

•Use only recommended print media.

•Make sure that the recommended print side is facing up when loading it in the paper bin.

•Keep print media stored in a suitable environment.
