Tips for Avoiding Paper Jams

By selecting the correct paper types, most paper jams can be
avoided. If a paper jam occurs, follow the steps outlined in
"Clearing Paper Jams" on page 6.3.
• Follow the procedures on page 3.2. Ensure that the
adjustable guides are positioned correctly.
• Do not overload the tray.
• Do not remove the paper from the tray while printing.
• Flex, fan, and straighten the paper before loading.
• Do not use creased, damp, or highly curled paper.
• Do not mix paper types in a tray.
• Use only recommended print materials. See "Paper
Specifications" on page 8.1.
• Ensure that the recommended print side of print materials is
facing up in the tray.

Solution
If a vertical white streak or faded area appears on the
page:
• The toner supply is low. You may be able to
temporarily extend the toner cartridge life. See
"Redistributing Toner" on page 5.2. If this does not
improve print quality, install a new toner cartridge.
• The paper may not meet paper specifications (for
example, the paper is too moist or too rough). See
"Paper Specifications" on page 8.1.
• A combination of faded or smeared defects may
indicate that the printer needs cleaning. See
page 5.7.
The paper may not meet specifications (for example,
the paper is too moist or too rough). See "Paper
Specifications" on page 8.1.
If generally rounded, faded areas occur randomly on
the page:
• A single sheet of paper may be defective. Try
reprinting the job.
• The moisture content of the paper is uneven or the
paper has moist spots on its surface. Try a different
brand of paper. See "Paper Specifications" on
page 8.1.
• The paper lot is bad. The manufacturing process
can cause some areas to reject toner. Try a different
kind or brand of paper.
• The toner cartridge may be defective. See "Vertical
repetitive defects" on the next page.
• Change the printer option and try again. Go to
printer properties, click Paper tab, and set paper
type to Thick. Refer to the Software Section for
details.
• If these steps do not correct the problems, contact
a service representative.
