Why am I getting paper jams frequently?

< 1 min read

Below are some tips that you can follow to reduce the frequency of paper jams:

  1. Clean the rollers
    Open up the paper tray and wipe the printer rollers clean using a damp cloth. This will reduce the amount of friction around the printer.
  2. Replace the paper
    Old paper can jam more easily than fresh ones. Consider replacing the paper with a new stack.
  3. Check the paper type
    Make sure the paper that you’re using is the one recommended for your printer.
  4. Check the paper size and orientation
    Make sure that you are using the correct paper size and orientation.
  5. Check for any obstructions
    See if there is any obstruction in the paper tray, printer head or paper guides.
