Minimizing Paper Jams

This section provides information to help you minimize paper jams.
Make sure to:
• Use only supported media. For more information see
• Set the tray settings on the control panel to the loaded media size and type.
• Load the media flat, especially on the leading edge.
• Install the printer on a hard, flat, level surface.
• Store media in a dry location.
• Remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to avoid static buildup.
• Adjust the media guides in trays after inserting the media. A guide that is not properly adjusted
can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.
Avoid the following:
• Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
• Fanning transparencies because this causes static.
• Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
• Overfilling the trays.
• Allowing the output tray to overfill.
• Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.

media types may cause more frequent paper jams. If supported media is jamming frequently in one
area, that area may need to be cleaned or repaired.

Probable Causes
The paper tray is too full.
