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 adjustthe paper guides so thatthe paper
can slide in and out freely.
❏Never lettheamount ofaccumulatedsheets 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.
