Clearing a Jam
■ Clearing a media jam
If the printer has frequent media jams, make sure that you follow these guidelines:
• Always use high-quality plain paper and transparencies. Refer to pages 111 and later.
• Make sure that you load specialty media only in the multi-purpose tray and that you
set the media thickness switch to the correct setting for the media used.
If a media jam occurs, the printer panel reports “Paper Jam.” It is followed by one of the
letters A through E that correspond to the various sensors throughout the paper path.
The following illustration shows the locations of the sensors that report media jams
(A through E).
