Media Jams and the Paper Path Media-based Problems 1. Check that the correct type of media is being used; Supported Paper Weights, Page Sizes and Print Area on page 1-27 for the correct media types and weights. The customer should be using a quality laser printer paper. The printer may have trouble picking slick-finish paper. 2. Only Phaser 7700 series transparency film should be used in this printer. 3. Inspect the paper for bent, torn, or folded corners. 4. Ensure that the correct media type is set in the front panel. 5. Ensure that the paper guides are set correctly. 6. Ensure that the media is a supported type for the tray picked from. Tray 1 supports paper, transparencies, and thin cover/index paper. Trays 2-4 support paper only. The MPT supports all types. Multiple-sheet Pick 1. Ensure that the paper is in good condition and appropriate for a laser printer; quality office laser printer paper works best. 2. Ensure that the printer is printing within its environmental specifications by using the built-in service diagnostics temperature test. 3. Ensure that the paper is correctly loaded in the tray and the tray has not been over filled. 4. Try loading paper from a fresh ream. Flip the paper over. 5. Clean the pick rollers with a clean, dry, lint-free wipe. 6. Replace the paper pick rollers. 7. Check the tray's retard roller for damage. 8. Replace the paper tray. Mis-pick 1.
