Jam Recovery
The jam recovery settings enable you to select how the printer handles jobs that are in the
process of printing when a media jam occurs. Jam recovery settings are especially important to
consider when printing checks. Normally when a media jam occurs, you can pull out the
jammed media and the printer reprints that page and then the rest of the job. While printing
checks, someone could cause a media jam as the media is exiting the printer so that a check is
reprinted. To prevent the printer from printing two copies of the same check, you can set the
printer to begin printing the job from the point where the media jammed through the end of the
job, or cancel the job completely.

■
