Reducing the Frequency of Paper Jams
If paper jams occur frequently, even though there is no apparent problem with the machine,
either one of the following two reasons may be the cause. Follow the instructions described
below to reduce the frequency of paper jams.
■
There are torn pieces of paper left inside the machine.
Pulling jammed paper out of the machine by force may leave parts of the paper torn inside, leading to
frequent paper jams. If paper tears while you are trying to remove jammed paper from the machine,
make sure that you remove all of the torn pieces.
■
The paper size slide is set incorrectly.
Make sure that the paper size slide located on the left side of a paper drawer matches the size of the
paper loaded in the paper drawer. If the paper size slide is set incorrectly, paper jams may occur more
frequently.
