Common causes of jams The printer is jammed.1 Cause The media does not meet specifications. A component is installed incorrectly. You are using media that has already passed through a printer or copier. An input tray is loaded incorrectly. The media is skewed. The media is binding or sticking together. Solution Use only media that meets HP specifications. See Paper specifications. Verify that all print cartridges, the transfer unit, and the fuser are correctly installed. Do not use media that has been previously printed on or copied. Remove any excess media from the input tray. Make sure that the stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the tray. See Configuring trays. The input-tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them so they hold the stack firmly in place without bending it. Remove the media, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload the media into the input tray. NOTE Do not fan paper. Fanning can create static electricity, which can cause paper to stick together. The media is removed before it settles into the output bin. Reset the printer. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it. During two-sided printing, you removed the paper before the second side of the document was printed. Reset the printer and print the document again. Wait until the page completely settles in the output bin before removing it. The media is in poor condition. Replace the media. The internal rollers from tray 2 or tray 3 are not picking up the media. Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is heavier than 163 g/m2 (43 lb), it might not be picked from the tray. The media has rough or jagged edges. Replace the media. The media is perforated or embossed. Perforated or embossed media does not separate easily. Feed single sheets from tray 1. Printer supply items have reached the end of their useful life. Check the printer control panel for messages prompting you to replace supplies, or print a supplies status page to verify the remaining life of the supplies. See Using printer information pages. Paper was not stored correctly. Replace the paper in the trays. Paper should be stored in the original packaging in a controlled environment. 1 If the printer still continues to jam, contact HP Customer Support or your authorized HP service provider.
