Learn how to avoid paper jams
To help avoid paper jams, follow these guidelines.
● Do not overll the input tray, but make sure that you have at least 5 pages loaded, for best results.
● Keep your printer free of dust and debris by removing paper and closing the input tray when not in use.
● Remove printed papers from the output tray frequently.
● Ensure that paper loaded in the input tray lays at, and the edges are not bent or torn.
● Do not combine dierent paper types and paper sizes in the input tray; the entire stack of paper in the input
tray must be the same size and type.
Use HP paper for optimum performance. See Paper basics on page 15 for more information about HP
paper.
● Adjust the paper-width guide in the input tray to t snugly against all paper. Make sure the paper-width
guide does not bend the paper in the input tray.
● Do not force paper too far down in the input tray.
● Do not add paper while the printer is printing. If the printer is about to run out of paper, wait until the out of
paper message appears before adding paper.
