Preventing Media Jams

To avoid media jams, make sure that:
Media matches the printer specifications
Media is flat, especially on the leading edge
The printer is on a hard, flat, level surface
You have correct media type selected if you're printing on envelopes,
labels, thick stock, or transparencies
You store media in a dry location away from moisture and humidity
You always adjust the media width regulation guides in Tray 1 after
inserting the media (a guide that is not properly adjusted can cause poor
print quality, media jams, or printer damage)
Transparencies are removed from the output tray immediately after
printing to avoid static buildup
You load the media for single-sided pages printing-side up in Tray 1 or 2
(Many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper to indicate
the printing side.)
Also make sure that the media is not:
Folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled
Double feeding
–
Unless you are using transparencies, remove the media and fan the
sheets
–
If you are using transparencies, make sure they have not been fanned
since fanning causes static
Mixed, with more than one type, size, or weight in a tray at the same time
Filled beyond the media fill marker in input trays
Filled beyond the capacity of the output tray (The face-down output tray
has a 200-sheet capacity—jamming may occur if you allow media to
accumulate more than 200 sheets at a time)
