Initial Actions
■ Ask the customer about the paper types being used. If not on the 
recommended list, determine if this is contributing to the problem. 
Recycled, multi-purpose or copier paper tends to contaminate the paper 
path. Constant use of special papers such labels or business cards can 
also contribute to jamming.
■ Ensure the correct tray loading and setup procedures are followed 
(securing the guides, selecting the correct paper type, fanning the paper, 
etc.)
■ Make sure the printer is plugged directly into an electrical outlet. Using 
extension cords or a power strip is not recommended.
■ Make every attempt to establish a jam rate prior to starting any work. If 
possible print an Error History Report and note the page count between 
jams.
■ Determine if jamming is occurring in one tray but not another. This helps 
to identify any dirty or defective parts.
■ Clear the paper path of any jams and paper debris. Start at the Turn 
Chute and work up to the Registration Chute Assembly.
■ Clean the paper Feed and Retard Rollers in the paper tray and tray slot 
using a slightly damp (water only) lint free cloth.
■ Cycle printer power.
■ If the problem persists, follow the procedure below.
