Learn how to avoid paper jams To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines. ● Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently. ● Make sure that you are printing with paper that is not wrinkled, folded, or damaged. ● Prevent curled or wrinkled paper by storing all unused paper flat in a resealable bag. ● Do not use paper that is too thick or too thin for the printer. ● Make sure that the trays are loaded correctly and are not too full. For more information, see Load paper. ● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays flat and the edges are not bent or torn. ● Do not place too much paper in the document feeder tray. For information on the maximum number of sheets allowed in the document feeder, see Specifications. ● Do not mix different paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input tray must be the same size and type. ● Adjust the paper-width guides in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width guides do not bend the paper in the input tray. ● Adjust the paper-length guide in the input tray to fit snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper- length guide does not bend the paper in the input tray. ● Do not force paper too far inside the input tray. ● If you are printing on both sides of a page, do not print highly saturated images on light weight paper. ● Use paper types that are recommended for the printer. ● If the printer is about to run out of paper, allow the printer to run out of paper first, and then add paper. Do not load paper when the printer is printing. ● When removing the input tray, it is recommended to remove the tray completely from the printer to make sure no paper is stuck at the rear of the tray. You might need to check the opening in the printer where the tray was, and reach into the gap to remove any paper. ENWW Jams and paper-feed issues 115
