Paper Jam Problems
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 the stack of paper and then tap its edges to align
it before you load it.
❏Be sure that you do not load too much paper in the
tray.
❏Be sure to adjust the paper guides so that the paper
can slide in and out freely.
❏Never let more than 500 sheets accumulate in the
output tray on top of the printer.
❏Try turning over the stack of paper in the tray. Most
packages of paper indicate the top side of the paper
with an arrow at the side of the package.
Clearing paper jams
When a paper jam occurs, a Jam xxx xxx xxx xxx message
appears on the LCD panel. Xxx indicates areas where
jams may be occurring, such as LC1(Lower Cassette 1)
or A(cover A). See the messages in this section for
instructions on clearing paper jams.

❏Check for jams at all paper sources or paths indicated on

all the jams are cleared.
❏The LCD panel displays up to four paper sources or paths
at the same time. Other areas where jams may be
occurring will be shown on the LCD panel after you have
