Avoiding Jams
Use only recommended print media. See "
" for more information.
See "
Loading Print Media in Optional Trays
" and "
Loading the Multipurpose Feeder
" to load printer media properly.
Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack print media height does not exceed the maximum height
indicated by the load line labels in the trays.
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs 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 face up.
Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see "
" for more
information.
Do not remove the feeding tray during a print job.
Push all trays in firmly after loading them.
Make sure all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
