GP 7 Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams
By selecting the correct media types, most paper jams can be avoided.
• Ensure that the adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the tray. Ensure that the paper level is below the paper capacity mark on the
inside wall of the tray.
• Do not remove paper from the tray while your printer is printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print media.
• Ensure that the recommended print side of print media is facing down in the tray, or facing up
in the multi-purpose tray.
• If paper jams occur frequently when you print on A5-sized paper: Load the paper into the tray
with the long edge facing the front of the tray.
