• Loading paper incorrectly
• Loading paper above the maximum fill line in the paper tray
• Adjusting the paper guides improperly
• Polyester-coated paper that is designed especially for inkjet printers
• Paper that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled
• Loading more than one type, size, or weight of paper in a tray at the same time
• Allowing the output tray to become overfilled
To prevent most jams, follow these rules:
• Use only supported paper. For more information, refer to
• Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques.
• Always use clean, undamaged paper.
• Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded.
• To separate the sheets before loading into the tray, fan the paper.
• Do not load paper above the maximum fill line.
• After loading paper in the trays, adjust the paper guides in all trays. A guide that is not properly
adjusted can cause poor print quality, misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.
• After loading paper in the trays, at the control panel, select the correct paper type and size.
• Before printing, select the correct paper type and size in the print driver.
• Store paper in a dry location.
• When jams occur printing on heavy coated paper, load that paper into the printer a single sheet
at a time.
