Media jams happen for a variety of reasons. Check the guidelines below to reduce the
potential for jams in the machine.
• Use only recommended media. Refer to Supported Paper Sizes and Types in the
Paper and Other Media chapter on page 120 and Machine Specifications in the
Specifications chapter on page 197.
• Protect unused media by storing it in its wrapper on a flat surface.
• The orientation of the media in the paper tray must match the orientation of the
documents.
• Check the maximum fill line in the tray to make sure the paper tray is not overloaded.
