Tips to Ensure your Printer Runs Smoothly

Loading Paper

When you open a new package of paper, fan the sheets to separate them slightly prior to loading.

Fan the paper, then tap it on a level surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

IMPORTANT

  • Paper that is curled or folded may cause a jam. Avoid exposing opened paper to high humidity as dampness can be a cause of problems.
  • When loading paper into the multipurpose tray, check that there is no paper left over in the tray from a previous job before loading the paper. If there is just a small amount of paper left over in the tray and you want to add more, first remove the left-over paper from the tray and include it with the new paper before loading the paper back into the tray.
  • If there is a gap between the paper and the paper width guides, readjust the guides to fit the paper in order to prevent skewed feeding and paper jams.
  • Ensure that the loaded paper does not exceed the load limit

 

 

Clearing Paper Jams

It is very important to pull any jammed paper out gently with two hands to avoid any tearing of the paper which may remain inside the machine and cause further problems. If the paper tears, be sure to remove any loose scraps of paper from inside the machine.

Refer to the Operation Guide for the procedures to clear a paper jam from your machine.
