Clearing Jams
Careful selection of appropriate print media and proper loading allow you to avoid most jams. See "Print Media
Guidelines" on page 162 for more information.
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 162 for more information.
• See "Loading Print Media in the Standard 150 Sheet Tray" on page 168 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 the width guides.
• 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 standard 150 sheet tray.
• 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 load the print media.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For more information, see "Storing Print Media" on
page 166.
• Do not remove the standard 150 sheet tray during a print job.
• Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
• Overtightening the width guides and the length guide may cause jams.
