7013-XXX Paper jams Avoiding jams Most paper jams can be avoided by correctly loading paper and specialty media in the printer. The following hints can help prevent paper jams: • Use only the recommended print media. • Do not overload the print media sources. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the maximum height indicated by the stack line on the labels in the sources. • Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled print media. • Flex, fan, and straighten print media before loading it. If jams do occur with the print media, then try feeding one sheet at a time through the manual feeder. • Do not mix print media sizes, weights, or types in the same print media source. • Push all trays in firmly after loading them. Note: Make sure the media stack is below the maximum media fill indicators on the 250-sheet tray before pushing the tray into the printer. • Make sure paper guides are positioned before loading the paper or specialty media. • Do not remove trays while a job is printing. • Before loading transparencies, fan the stack to prevent sheets from sticking together. • Do not use envelopes that: - Have excessive curl - Are stuck together - Are damaged in any way - Contain windows, holes, perforations, cutouts, or embossments - Have metal clasps, string ties, or metal folding bars - Have postage stamps attached - Have any exposed adhesive when the flap is in the sealed position • Use only recommended media. Refer to the Card Stock & Label Guide available on the Lexmark Web site at www.lexmark.com for more information about which media provides optimum results for the current printing environment. 3-34 Service Manual
