2. 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 be remaining 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.

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

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

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.

Do not force paper too far forward in the input tray.

Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see
Media specifications.

NOTE: Humidity may cause paper to curl and hence paper jam.
