Tips for avoiding paper jams
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided. To avoid paper jams, refer
to the following guidelines:
• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly (see "Tray overview" on page 27).
• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the
inside of the tray.
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your machine is printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print media (see "Print media specifications" on page 114).
• Do not use a paper with a leading-edge curl or wave, it may cause a paper jam or the paper can
be wrinkled. Turn the stack of paper over in the tray.
