Use recommended paper

• Flex, fan, and straighten paper before loading it.

Understanding jam messages and
locations
When a jam occurs, a message indicating the jam location and
information to clear the jam appears on the printer display. Open the
doors, covers, and trays indicated on the display to remove the jam.
Notes:
• When Jam Assist is set to On, the printer automatically flushes
blank pages or pages with partial prints to the standard bin after
a jammed page has been cleared. Check your printed output
stack for discarded pages.
• When Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto, the printer reprints
jammed pages. However, the Auto setting does not guarantee
that the page will print.
