Preventing Paper Feed and Paper Jam Problems
To prevent frequent paper feed or paper jam problems, use this
checklist of corrective measures.
❏ Use a higher-quality paper, one that is not too thin or rough.
❏ Fan a stack of paper and tap it on a flat surface to even its
edges before you load it.
❏ Be sure that you do not load too much paper in the paper
sources.
❏ Be sure to adjust the paper guides so that the paper can slide
in and out freely.
❏ Never let the amount of accumulated sheets exceed the total
output capacity of any output tray or bin.
❏ Make sure you load paper with the correct side up. Most
packages of paper indicate the top side of the paper with an
arrow at the side of the package.
