Paper Jam Messages

Your printer has been designed to provide reliable, trouble-free operation. However, you may experience an occasional paper jam.

When the printer detects a misfeed or a paper jam, it stops printing and displays a Control Panel message.

After you clear the paper jam, the printer will resume operation to complete the print job. The pages in the print engine will be reprinted when the jam is cleared and printing resumes.

Paper jams occur most often when:

•The paper stock does not meet specification. See “Selecting Print Media” (page 2-2).

•Paper has not been properly loaded in the tray.

•The paper stock is in poor condition.

•The printer needs cleaning.

•Printer parts are worn and need to be replaced.

Table 5.1 on page 5-6 lists the types of paper jams that may occur. If you see a Control Panel message that indicates a paper jam, find the message in the left-hand column and perform the accompanying steps to clear the paper jam.

Observe warning labels inside the printer when removing jammed paper.
