Clearing Jams

Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to

avoid paper jams. See "Print Media Guidelines" on page 49 for more

information.

NOTE:

Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that

you try a sample first.

Avoiding Jams

• Use only recommended print media. See "Print Media Guidelines" on

page 49 for more information.

• See "Loading Print Media" on page 59 to load print media properly.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the stack print

media height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the line

with an arrow on each width guide.

• 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 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.

• Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the

print media.

• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more

information, see "Storing Print Media" on page 56.

• Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
• Over tightening the guides may cause jams.
