The following are the top reasons why paper jams occur:

  • unsupported paper/media is used.
  • incorrect paper settings in the tray and/or the print driver.
  • paper loaded incorrectly and/or paper edge guides not adjusted properly in the tray.
  • humidity and/or paper condition and storage.

To resolve the error that appears on the control panel, clear all paper from inside the printer.

CAUTION: Some areas of the printer are hot. Take care when removing paper from the printer.
