However, it is not unusual to experience anoccasional paper jam. Paper jams occur most often when:• The paper stock does not meet specification. See “PaperSpecifications” (page 2-6).• The paper stock is in poor condition.• The paper stock has been improperly loaded into thepaper trays. See “Loading Paper” (page 2-14).• The printer needs cleaning. See “Fuser Cleaning Cycle”(page 6-9).• Printer parts have worn and need to be replaced.When first powered ON, the printer detects any jammedpaper. The movement of paper through the printer isconstantly being monitored by the printer’s controllers.When the printer detects a misfeed or a paper jam, theprinting process is halted, and the Control Panel messageOpen CoverClear Paper Pathis displayed. This message indicates that a jam was detectedin the printer. The entire paper path should be checked eachtime a paper jam is cleared.After the paper jam has been cleared, the printer will resumeoperation to complete the print job.Paper JamsAUG-CH07 Page 19 Black,Cyan Friday, February 3, 1995 12:34 AM
