Possible Causes & Solutions

• Cause: Incorrect Paper Type.
  Solution: Ensure you're using the correct type of paper recommended for your printer model. Using paper that is too thick, too thin, or textured can cause jams. Refer to your printer manual for recommended paper types.
• Cause: Overfilled Paper Tray.
  Solution: Don't overfill the paper tray. Leave some space between sheets to allow for proper feeding.
• Cause: Misaligned Paper.
  Solution: Make sure the paper is properly aligned within the paper tray. Check for any creases or bends in the paper.
• Cause: Dust or Debris.
  Solution: Dust or debris can interfere with the paper path. Gently clean the paper path rollers with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids.
• Cause: Toner Cartridge Issues.
  Solution: Occasionally, a faulty toner cartridge can cause paper jams. Try replacing the toner cartridge to rule out this possibility.
