Learn how to avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
●
Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
●
Make sure that you are printing with paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged.
●
Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper at in a resealable bag.
●
Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer.
●
Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more information, see Load media
on page 11.
●
Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays at and the edges are not bent or torn.
●
Do not combine dierent 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 guides in the input tray to t snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guides do not bend the paper in the input tray.
●
Do not force paper too far inside the input tray.
●
If you are printing on both sides of a page, do not print highly saturated images on light weight paper.
●
Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. For more information, see Paper basics
on page 9.
●
If the printer is about to run out of paper, allow the printer to run out of paper rst, and then add paper.
Do not load paper when the printer is printing.
