The Paper Jams Frequently When Using Continuous Forms Make sure that the incoming and
outgoing paper is straight. Be sure that the incoming paper is not sticking.
The Paper Jams When Doing Reverse Paper Feeds Be sure that the lid is shut correctly. Don’t
tear off continuous forms while you are printing. With wider paper the right edge of the first page
may not be flat against the platen. Increase the top margin or advance to the second sheet before
you start printing.
