Jams in Printer

If a jam occurs, STOP the Printer. Missed addresses can be recovered at computer after job is printed.
No data will be lost.
Some possible reasons for jamming are:
1. Feeding more than one piece of media.
2. Damaged media, such as dog-eared (turned down corners).
3. Media that is not stiff enough may not be usable. Media that meets Postal stiffness requirements
for automated feeding is acceptable in the Printer.
4. Envelopes caught under flap of another envelope or stuck to one another may cause jamming.
Removing Jammed Media
1. It may be necessary to move one or more Printheads to gain access to jammed media. Take care in
removing jammed media to prevent damage to Printheads. All pieces of jammed media must be
removed from the feed path.
Use "Address Recovery" to recover any lost addresses.
