Troubleshooting

Clearing a media jam

If the printer has frequent media jams, make sure that you follow these guidelines:

■Always use high-quality laser paper, recommended labels, and Tektronix

transparencies, glossy paper, and fabric transfer media.

■Make sure that you load specialty media only in the Multi-Purpose Tray

and that you set the Media Thickness Switch to the correct setting for the

media used.

■To prevent jams, clean the printer’s rollers. See “Occasional cleaning” on

page 107 for details.

If a media jam occurs, the front panel reports Jam at <Location> on the display’s

ﬁrst line. The <Locations> are the various sensors throughout the paper path,

listed as

A

through

E

. The second line of the display directs you to the location; for

example, Open left side door. Inside the printer’s front door is a label showing

the location for each jam.
