Tips on preventin g jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty media.
The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:
Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.
Never mix media types within a tray.
Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.
Do not exceed the maximum stack height.
Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.
Make sure the guides in the trays are positioned snugly against
the paper or specialty media.
Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a
Load Paper light sequence before you remove the tray.
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets
from sticking together.
Do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl – Are stuck together – Are damaged in any way – Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing – Use metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars – Have postage stamps attached – Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed
position
Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label
Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for
more information about which paper provides optimum results for current printing environment.
