101 Troubleshooting
Avoiding Jams
• Use only recommended print media.
• See "Loading Print Media in the Multipurpose Feeder (MPF)" on page 66 to load print media
properly.
• Do not overload the print media sources. Ensure that the stacked print media height does not
exceed the marks 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 multipurpose feeder (MPF).
• 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.
• Ensure that the recommended print side is face up when you insert the print media.
• Keep print media stored in an acceptable environment.
• Ensure that all cables that connect to the printer are correctly attached.
• Overtightening the guides may cause jams.
