Jams Causes of jams NOTE If you are experiencing jams in the duplex paper path, make sure that the duplex-tray lever is set to the correct media size for your country/region. Open the duplex-paper-path door and look at the embossed arrow on the lever. Make sure that it points to the media size for your country/region. If the size needs to be changed, push the lever all the way in for duplex printing on letter- and legal-size media, or pull it all the way out for duplex printing on A4-size media. LTR, A4 LGL LTR, A4 LGL Occasionally, paper or other print media can become jammed during a print job. Some causes include the following events: ● The print media that is being used does not meet HP specifications. ● The media is damaged or has objects attached to it, such as staples or paper clips. ● The environment in which the print media was stored is too humid or too dry. ● The input trays are loaded incorrectly or overfilled, or the media guides are not set correctly. ● Too many sheets have accumulated in an output area, or sheets are blocking an output area. ● Media is added to or removed from an input tray during a print job or an input tray is removed from the all-in-one during a print job. ● The cartridge door is opened during a print job. Tips to avoid jams ● Use only HP-recommended media types and sizes. ● Verify that the input tray is not overfilled.

lever is set to the correct media size for your country/region. Open the duplex-paper-path door

and look at the embossed arrow on the lever. Make sure that it points to the media size for your

Occasionally, paper or other print media can become jammed during a print job. Some causes include

the following events:

●

The print media that is being used does not meet HP specifications.

●

The media is damaged or has objects attached to it, such as staples or paper clips.

●

The environment in which the print media was stored is too humid or too dry.

●

The input trays are loaded incorrectly or overfilled, or the media guides are not set correctly.

●

Too many sheets have accumulated in an output area, or sheets are blocking an output area.

●

Media is added to or removed from an input tray during a print job or an input tray is removed from

the all-in-one during a print job.

●

The cartridge door is opened during a print job.

Tips to avoid jams

●

Use only HP-recommended media types and sizes.

●

Verify that the input tray is not overfilled. The input tray capacity varies depending on the type of

print media that you are using.

●

Verify that the media guides are correctly adjusted.
