Avoiding Jams
• Use only recommended print media. For details, see "About Print Media" on page 92.
• See "Loading Print Media in the Standard 150 Sheet Tray" on page 96 to load print media properly.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure that the stacked print media does not exceed the
maximum height indicated on the paper width guides.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media.
• Flex, fan, and straighten print media before you load it. If a jam occurs with print media, try feeding one sheet at
a time through the standard 150 sheet tray.
• Do not use print media that you have cut or trimmed.
• Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source.
• Make sure that the recommended print side is facing up when you insert the print media.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment. For details, see "Print Media Storage Guidelines" on
page 94.
• Make sure that all cables connected to the printer are correctly inserted.
• Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
