Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By carefully selecting print materials and
loading them properly, you should be
able to avoid most paper jams. If jams do
occur, follow the steps outlined in the
previous sections. If jams occur
frequently, make sure that you are
following these tips to avoid jams.
•
Make sure you are loading paper
properly (See Chapter 1) and that the
adjustable paper guide is positioned
correctly.

Do not overload the paper. Never
exceed the maximum capacity of 100
sheets of paper in the Automatic
Paper Feeder.
•
Flex, fan, and straighten paper
before loading it.
•
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp,
highly curled, or previously stapled
paper.
•
Do not mix paper types.
•
Use only recommended print paper.
•
Ensure that the recommended print
side is facing up when loading paper
into the feeder.
•
Store print materials in an acceptable
environment. See Paper Guidelines in
Chapter One for paper storage tips.
