Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.

CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers,
check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might remain inside
the printer. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the printer, more
paper jams are likely to occur.

Avoid paper jams

To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.

Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.

Make sure that you are printing with media that is not wrinkled, folded, or
damaged.

Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable
bag.

Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.

Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more
information, see Load paper.

Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or
torn.

Do not place too much paper in the document feeder tray. For information on the
maximum number of sheets allowed in the automatic document feeder, see
Paper specifications.

Do not combine different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire
stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type.

Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make
sure the paper-width guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
