Clearing Jams
Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to avoid paper jams. See "Print Media
Guidelines" on page 143 for more information.
NOTE: The images used in this manual are those of the Dell™ C1760nw Color Printer unless otherwise mentioned.
NOTE: Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI) is available only for Dell C1760nw Color Printer.
NOTE: Before buying large quantities of any print media, it is recommended that you try a sample first.
Avoiding Jams
• Use only recommended print media. See "Print Media Guidelines" on page 143 for more information.
• See "Loading Print Media in the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 151 and "Loading Print Media in the
Priority Sheet Inserter (PSI) (Dell C1760nw Color Printer only)" on page 159 to load print media properly.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the stack print media height does not exceed the maximum
height indicated by the line with an arrow on each width guide.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
• Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try feeding one sheet at a
time through the MPF or the PSI.
• Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed yourself.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
• Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see "Storing Print Media" on
page 147.
• Do not remove the PSI during a print job.
• Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
• Over tightening the guides may cause jams.
