Minimizing Paper Jams

This section provides information to help you minimize paper jams.

Make sure to:

Use only supported media. For more information see

Supported Media

on page 43.

Set the tray settings to the loaded media size and type.

Load the media flat, especially on the leading edge.

Install the printer on a hard, flat, level surface.

Store media in a dry location.

Remove transparencies from the output tray immediately after printing to avoid static buildup.

Adjust the media guides in all trays after inserting the media. A guide that is not properly
adjusted can cause poor print quality, media misfeeds, skewed prints, and printer damage.

Avoid the following:

Media that is specially designed for ink-jet printers with polyester coating.

Media that is folded, wrinkled, or excessively curled.

Fanning transparencies since this causes static.

Loading more than one type/size/weight of media in a tray at the same time.

Loading dog-eared (folded corners), stapled, or punched media in the document feeder.

Overloading the input trays.

Allowing the output tray to overfill.

Allowing the output tray to fill with more than a few transparencies.
