Warning—Potential Damage: Never use envelopes with
stamps, clasps, snaps, windows, coated linings, or self‑stick
adhesives. These envelopes may severely damage the
printer.
• Make sure the paper or specialty media is below the maximum
paper fill indicator.
Note: Jam recovery is set to Auto by default. The printer reprints
jammed pages unless the memory required to hold the pages is
needed for other printer tasks.
Avoiding jams
Load paper properly
• Make sure paper lies flat in the tray.
Correct loading of paperIncorrect loading of paper
• Do not slide the paper into the tray. Load paper as shown in the
illustration.
Warning—Potential Damage: Overfilling the feeder can
cause paper jams.

lightly touch the sides of the stack.
7 From the printer control panel, set the paper size and type in the
Paper menu to mat ch the paper loaded in the tray.
Note: Set the correct paper size and type to avoid paper jams
and print quality problems.
Clearing jams
Carefully select paper and specialty media, and then load them
properly to avoid most jams. For more information, see “Avoiding
jams” on page 19. If jams occur, then follow the steps outlined in this
chapter.
• Do not remove a tray while the printer is printing.
• Do not load a tray while the printer is printing. Load it before
printing, or wait for a prompt to load it.
• Do not load too much paper. Make sure the stack height is below
the maximum paper fill indicator.
19
• Make sure the guides in the tray or the multipurpose feeder are
properly positioned and are not pressing tightly against the paper
or envelopes.
• Push the tray firmly into the printer after loading paper.
• If you are loading prepunched paper for use with the staple finisher,
then make sure the holes on the long edge of the paper are on the
right side of the tray.

Allow the paper to enter the optional mailbox bins
properly
• Make sure to adjust the bin extender so that the paper size
indicators match the size of the paper used.
Notes:
– If the bin extender is shorter than the size of the paper you
are printing on, then the paper causes a jam in the mailbox
bin. For example, if you are printing on a legal-size paper and
the bin extender is set to letter-size, then a jam occurs.
– If the bin extender is longer than the size of the paper you
are printing on, then the edges become uneven and the
paper is not stacked properly. For example, if you are
printing on a letter-size paper and the bin extender is set to
legal-size, then the paper does not stack properly.
• If paper needs to be returned to the mailbox bin, then insert the
paper under the bin arm, and then push the paper all the way back.
2
1
Note: If the paper is not under the bin arm, then a jam occurs
due to an overfilled bin.
• Flex and straighten paper before loading it.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same tray.
• Make sure the paper size and type ar e set correctly on the computer
or printer cont rol panel.
• Store paper per manufacturer recommendations.
Understanding jam messages and
locations
When a jam occurs, a message indicating the jam location and
information to clear the jam appears on the printer display. Open the
doors, covers, and trays indicated on the display to remove the j am.
Notes:
• When Jam Assist is set to On, Discarding pages appears
on the display and the printer flushes blank or pages with partial
prints to the standard bin after a jammed page is cleared. Check
your printed output for blank pages.
• When Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto, the printer reprints
jammed pages. However, the Auto setting reprints jammed
pages if adequate printer memory is available.
