Preventing Media Jams
Some printer problems are caused by improper handling of media or
use of the wrong media and consumables. There are several things
you can do to reduce the occurrence of media jams.
n
Use paper, envelopes, labels, postcards, transparencies that
match the printer specifications.(See the “Consumable Supplies”
section of appendix B, “Technical Specifications,” for more com-
plete information.)
n
Make sure the media is not folded or wrinkled.
n
Do not overfill the multipurpose tray or the cassette.
-
The multipurpose tray holds about 150 sheets of 16 to 42 lb
(20 to 157 g/m
2
) paper, 5 transparencies, 10 envelopes, 10
sheets of letterhead or thick paper, or 10 labels.
-
The 250-sheet cassette holds up to 250 sheets of paper.
-
The 500-sheet cassette holds up to 500 sheets of paper.
n
If you have problems with double feeding, remove the media from
the cassette or input bin and fan the edges. The sheets may be
sticking together.
»
Note:
Do not fan transparencies since this causes static.
n
Print media must be stored away from moisture and humidity. The
recommended relative humidity is 15%-85% with no
condensation.
n
Many manufacturers place an arrow on the end of the wrapper
indicating the side of the media to use for printing. If you cannot
determine which side of the media to print on, remove the media
from the cassette, rotate the stack a half-turn, turn the stack over,
and then place it back in the cassette.
n
If none of the above relieves media jamming, notify your vendor.
