Reducing the Frequency of Paper Jams
If paper jams occur frequently, even though there is no apparent problem with
the machine, either one of the following two reasons may be the cause. Follow
the instructions described below to reduce the frequency of paper jams.
■ There are torn pieces of paper left inside the machine.
Pulling jammed paper out of the machine by force may leave parts
of the paper torn inside, leading to frequent paper jams. If paper
tears while you are trying to remove jammed paper from the
machine, make sure that you remove all of the torn pieces.
■ The paper size slide is set incorrectly.
Make sure that the paper size slide registered in Register Paper
(from the Additional Functions screen) matches the size of the
paper loaded in the paper deck. If the paper size slide is set
incorrectly, paper jams may occur more frequently.
