Solving paper feed problems
Paper frequently jams
Try one or more of the following:
CHECK THE PAPER
Use recommended paper and specialty media. For more information, see the chapter about paper and specialty
media guidelines.
MAKE SURE THERE IS NOT TOO MUCH PAPER IN THE PAPER TRAY
Make sure the paper does not exceed the maximum paper fill indicator located in the tray or feeder.
MAKE SURE THE ENTIRE PAPER STACK IS SITTING FLAT IN THE TRAY
Before loading the paper, do the following:

• Straighten the edges on a level surface.
CHECK THE PAPER GUIDES
Move the guides in the tray to the correct positions for the paper size loaded.
