The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:
• Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on Lexmark’s
Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about which paper provides optimum
results for your printing environment.
• If you need detailed information before purchasing large quantities of customized paper, refer
to the Card Stock & Label Guide.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.
• Do not overload the trays or the multipurpose feeder. Make sure the stack height does not
exceed the maximum height indicated.
• Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.
• Make sure the guides in the trays are properly positioned for the size paper you have loaded.
• Do not load paper in a tray while a job is printing. Wait for a Load Tray <x> message before
you remove the tray from the printer.
You may remove another tray and load it so long as the print job is not selecting the paper from
it.
• If a jam occurs, clear it. See Clearing jams for more information.
