Tips for avoiding paper jams
By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be
avoided. When a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in
page 9.1.
• Follow the procedures in page 2.3. Ensure that the
adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the paper input tray. Ensure that the paper
is below the paper capacity mark on the inside wall of the
paper input tray.
• Do not remove paper from the paper input tray while your
machine is printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in the paper input tray.
• Use only recommended print materials. See page 3.2.
• Ensure that the recommended print side of print materials is
facing down in the paper input tray and facing up in the
manual feeder.
