Experiencing frequent or recurring paper jams?
To reduce the number of paper jams, try these solutions.
NOTE: Tray 1 and Tray 2 are optimal for paper pickup when using special paper or media other than 20lb
plain paper. For Tray 1 and Tray 2 the product increases the number of attempts to pickup a page, which
increases the reliability of successfully picking the page from the tray and decreases the possibility of a mis-
pick jam.
HP recommends using Tray 1 or Tray 2 if the product is experiencing excessive or reoccurring jams from trays
other than Tray 1 and Tray 2, or for print jobs that require media other than 20lb plain paper.
1. Use only paper that meets HP specifications for this product.
2. Use paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. If necessary, use paper from a different package.
3. Use paper that has not previously been printed or copied on.
4. Make sure the tray is not overfilled. If it is, remove the entire stack of paper from the tray, straighten
the stack, and then return some of the paper to the tray.
5. Make sure the paper guides in the tray are adjusted correctly for the size of paper. Adjust the guides so
they are touching the paper stack without bending it.
6. Make sure that the tray is fully inserted in the product.
7. When printing on heavy, embossed, or perforated paper, use the manual feed feature and feed sheets
one at a time.
8. From the Home screen on the product control panel, scroll to and touch the Trays button. Verify that the
tray is configured correctly for the paper type and size.
9. Make sure the printing environment is within recommended specifications.
