Minimizing Paper Jams
The printer is designed to function with minimal paper jams using Xerox
®
supported paper. Other paper
types can cause jams. If supported paper is jamming frequently in one area, clean that area of the paper
path.
The following can cause paper jams:
• Selecting the incorrect paper type in the print driver.
• Using damaged paper.
• Using unsupported paper.
• Loading paper incorrectly.
• Overfilling the tray.
• Adjusting the paper guides improperly.
Most jams can be prevented by following a simple set of rules:
• Use only supported paper. For details, see Supported Paper on page 72.
• Follow proper paper handling and loading techniques.
• Always use clean, undamaged paper.
• Avoid paper that is curled, torn, moist, creased, or folded.
• To separate the sheets before loading into the tray, fan the paper.
