Minimizing Paper Jams
This section provides information to aid you in minimizing paper jams.
Make sure to:
•
Use only supported media. For more information see
•
Set the tray settings to the loaded media size and type.
•
Load the media flat, especially on the leading edge.
•
Locate the printer on a hard, flat, level surface.
•
Store media in a dry location.
•
Remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing.
•
Adjust the media guides in all trays after inserting the media. A guide that is not properly adjusted
can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.
Avoid the following:
•
Media that is specially designed for ink-jet printers with polyester coating.
•
Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.
•
Fanning transparencies before loading in the tray.
•
Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.
•
Loading dog-eared (folded corners), stapled, or punched media in the document feeder.
•
Overfilling the trays.
•
Allowing the output tray to overfill.
•
Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.
