Avoiding Paper Jams If you follow the tips outlined in "Print Material Guidelines" on page 118 and in "Loading Print Material" on page 124, you are well on your way to trouble-free printing. If jams do occur, however, follow the steps outlined in "Clearing Jams" on page 183. If jams occur frequently, make sure you are following these tips: Note: Make sure the PAPER TYPE, PAPER TEXTURE, and PAPER WEIGHT settings in the PAPER MENU are correct. • Use only recommended print materials. See "Print Material Guidelines" on page 118. • If you need to load print material in a tray while a job is printing, press the Stop button and wait for the printer motors to idle before you remove the tray from the printer. After you reinstall the loaded tray, press Go to continue printing. • Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print material. • Flex, fan, and straighten the print material before you load it. If jams do occur, try manually feeding the print material one sheet at a time. • Do not overload the paper sources. Make sure the print material does not exceed the maximum height indicated on the stack height indicator. • Do not use print material that you have cut or trimmed yourself. • Do not mix print material sizes, weights, or types in the same paper source. • Do not use coated print materials. • Make sure the recommended print side is face down when loading all input trays and the recommended print side is face up when loading the multipurpose feeder. • Keep print materials stored in an acceptable environment. See "Storing Print Material" on page 123. • Do not remove input trays during a print job. Avoiding Paper Jams 137
