Avoiding jams
The following hints can help you avoid jams:
• Use only recommended paper or specialty media. For more information, see “Paper and specialty media guide”
on page 51.
• Do not load too much paper. Make sure the stack height does not exceed the indicated maximum height.
• Do not load wrinkled, creased, damp, or curled paper.
• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading it.
• Do not use paper that has been cut or trimmed by hand.
• Do not mix paper sizes, weights, or types in the same stack.
• Store the paper in an appropriate environment.
• Do not remove trays while the printer is printing. Wait for the light to come on before removing a tray. The
light sequence for loading paper also signals that the tray may be removed:
