Clearing Jams
Guide
Avoiding jams
The following hints can help you avoid jams:
• Use only recommended print media.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Make
sure the stack height does not exceed the
maximum height indicated by the stack line on
the labels in the sources.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled
print media.
• Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you
load it. If jams do occur with print media, try
feeding one sheet at a time through the
multipurpose feeder.
• Do not use print media that you have cut or
trimmed yourself.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types
in the same print media source.
• Make sure the recommended print side is
loaded in the source according to your simplex
or duplex needs.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable
environment.
• Do not remove trays during a print job.
• Push all trays in firmly after loading them.
• Make sure the guides in the trays are properly
positioned for the size of print media you have
loaded. Make sure the guides are not placed
too tightly against the stack of print media.
