Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be
avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in
“Clearing Paper Jams” on page 8.4.
• Follow the procedures in “Loading Paper” on page 1.11. Ensure
that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper tray. Ensure that the paper is below
the paper capacity mark on the inside wall of the paper tray.
• Do not remove the paper from the tray while your machine is
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 paper tray.
• Use only recommended print materials. See “Paper
Specifications” on page A.6.
• Ensure that the recommended print side of print materials is
facing down in the paper tray and facing up in the Bypass tray.
