Clearing jams CAUTION NOTE To prevent damage to the printer when clearing jams, including jams in the output bin, always open the print cartridge door and remove the print cartridge. Keep the door open and the cartridge out until the jam has been cleared. Opening the print cartridge door and removing the print cartridge relieves tension on the printer rollers, which prevents damage to the printer and makes the removal of jammed pages easier. Occasionally, media becomes jammed during a print job. You are notified of a media jam by an error from the software and the printer control panel lights. See Status light patterns for more information. The following are some of the causes of media jams: ● The input trays are loaded improperly or are too full. See Loading media into the input trays for more information. When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and straighten the stack of new media. This helps prevent multiple sheets of media from feeding through the printer at one time, reducing media jams. ● The media does not meet HP specifications. See Printer media considerations for more information. NOTE Typical media jam locations ● Print cartridge area: See Removing a jammed page for instructions. ● Input tray areas: If the page is still sticking out of the input tray, gently try to remove it from the input tray without tearing the page. If you feel resistance, see Removing a jammed page for instructions. ● Output path: If the page is sticking out of the output bin, see Removing a jammed page for instructions. There might be loose toner in the printer after a media jam. This toner clears up after a few sheets are printed. CAUTION Removing a jammed page Media jams might result in loose toner on the page. If you get any toner on your clothes, wash them in cold water. Hot water will permanently set the toner into the fabric. ENWW Clearing jams 71

the printer and makes the removal of jammed pages easier.
