Avoiding Jams
•
Use only recommended print media.
•
See
"Loading Print Media in the Standard 250 Sheet Tray and the Optional 550 Sheet Feeder" on page 78
"Loading Print Media in the Bypass Tray" on page 80
•
Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the print media stack height does not exceed the maximum
height indicated by the load-line in the tray.
•
Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
•
Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try feeding one sheet at a
time through the bypass tray.
•
Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
•
Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
•
Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you load the print media.
•
Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
•
Do not remove the feeding tray during a print job.
•
Push the tray in firmly after loading.
•
Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
•
Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
•
Wipe the feed roller in the tray or bypass tray with a cloth moistened with water if jams caused by misfeeding paper
occur frequently.
