Tips on preventing jams

You can avoid most paper jams by correctly loading paper and specialty
media.
The following hints can help you avoid paper jams:
•
Do not load wrinkled, creased, or damp paper.
•
Never mix media types within a tray.
•
Flex, fan, and straighten paper before you load it.
•
Do not exceed the maximum stack height.
•
Push all trays firmly into the printer after loading them.
•
Make sure the guides in the trays are positioned snugly against the
paper or specialty media.
•
Do not remove paper trays while a job is printing. Wait for a Load
Paper or Ready light sequence or message before you remove the
tray.
•
Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from
sticking together.
•
Do not use envelopes that:
– Have excessive curl
– Are stuck together
– Are damaged in any way
– Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossing
– Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars
– Have postage stamps attached
– Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position
•
Use only recommended paper. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide
available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more
information about which paper provides optimum results for the current
printing environment.
