- If your printer has a paper tray, don't fill the tray to capacity. Reduce the amount of paper you place in the tray each time it's filled.
- Make sure the tray feeding the paper into the printer is aligned properly. Many printers have sliders that allow different types and sizes of paper to be fed into the printer, and it should be snug against the sides of the paper. If the slider is not properly positioned it can cause paper jams.
- Use standard office paper; folded paper, paper with labels, and specialty paper such as hard bound paper can often cause paper jams. If you're uncertain what paper you should use with your printer, check the manual that came with your printer for a list of compatible paper.
- Don't mix the paper you're feeding into the printer at one time. If you need to change the paper being used, remove any other paper currently in the printer before inserting the new paper.
- If your printer uses a slot or tray for the paper, make sure to not push the paper too far into the slot or tray.
- Examine the printer for any previous stuck paper in the printer. Previous paper jams, torn paper, printing labels or other foreign objects in the printer can cause reoccurring printer jams.
