Common causes of jams 1
Cause Solution
The paper length and width guides are not adjusted
correctly.
Adjust the guides so they are against the paper stack.
The media does not meet specifications. Use only media that meets HP specifications. See Paper and
print media on page 11 .
You are using media that has already passed through a
printer or copier.
Do not use media that has been previously printed on or
copied.
An input tray is loaded incorrectly. Remove any excess media from the input tray. Make sure
that the stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the
tray. See Load paper trays on page 19 .
The media is skewed. The input-tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them
so they hold the stack firmly in place without bending it.
The media is binding or sticking together. Remove the media, flex it, rotate it 180 degrees, or flip it
over. Reload the media into the input tray.
NOTE: Do not fan paper. Fanning can create static
electricity, which can cause paper to stick together.
The media is removed before it settles into the output bin. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before
removing it.
The paper is too heavy. Do not use paper that exceeds the supported weights for the
input tray. See Supported paper types and tray capacity
on page 18 .
Do not use paper that exceeds the supported weight for
automatic duplex printing. See Supported paper sizes for
duplex printing on page 17 .
The media is in poor condition. Replace the media.
The internal rollers from the tray are not picking up the
media.
Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is too heavy, it
might not be picked from the tray. See Supported paper
types and tray capacity on page 18 .
The media has rough or jagged edges. Replace the media.
The media is perforated or embossed. Perforated or embossed media does not separate easily.
Load sheets one at a time.
Paper was not stored correctly. Replace the paper in the trays. Paper should be stored in the
original packaging in a controlled environment.
