Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, bent, or curled paper.
•
Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading it.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.

control panel menu.

information, see the setup documentation.
Identifying jams in the paper
path
The following illustration shows the path that paper travels
through the printer. The path varies depending on the input
source (tray or feeder) and depending on whether a duplex
(two-sided) print job is being sent.
When a jam occurs, a jam message appears, indicating the region
of the jam or the number of jammed sheets. The three-digit jam
prefix numbers are given in the following illustration to show
where each jam occurs.
Understanding jam messages
and locations
Note: To resolve any message, all paper or specialty media must
be cleared from the entire paper path.
