Open the top cover. The print cartridge carriage should return to the right side of the printer. If the
carriage does not return to the right side, turn off the printer, and then move the carriage to the
right. Pull any jammed paper towards you.

CAUTION

Do not reach into the printer when the printer is on and the print cartridge

carriage is stuck.

After you clear the jam, close all covers, turn on the printer (if you turned it off), and press the

Resume

button. The printer will continue the print job on the next page. You will need to resend

any pages that were jammed in the printer.

Tips for avoiding paper jams

Make sure nothing blocks the paper path.

Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. It is recommended not to use paper with
cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed.

To ensure that media feeds properly, load only one type of media at a time in the input tray or the
manual feed slots.

Make sure media is loaded correctly. See

Loading media in the input tray

.

For the input tray and front manual feed slot, load the media print-side down with the right edge of
the media aligned against the right edge of the tray or slot. Make sure the paper width guide and
tray extension fit against the edges of the media. For the rear manual feed slot, load the media
print-side up.

Do not load more than 150 sheets of paper, or 15 envelopes, or a stack of media that exceeds the
height of the paper width guide into the input tray. Do not load more than 10 sheets of paper into
the front manual feed slot. Load only one sheet of paper at a time into the rear manual feed slot.

Always use media that conforms with the types, sizes, and weights listed in

Selecting print

media

. This section also lists tips and guidelines on recommended media.
