6.3.4 Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be avoided. To help prevent paper jams always perform the
following:
Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly against the paper.
Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper is below the paper capacity mark located on the inside right
of the tray.
Do not remove the paper or paper tray from the printer while printing.
Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.
Do not use creased, damp or highly curled paper.
Do not mix paper types in the input tray.
Use only recommended print media.
Ensure that the recommended print side is correctly oriented when loading paper into the tray(s).

2. Press and hold down the Cancel button on the control panel for about 10 seconds.
3.
The printer automatically picks a sheet of paper from the tray and prints out a cleaning sheet with dust or toner
particles on it.

The cleaning process takes some time. To stop printing, turn the power OFF.
