Paper Jams
In addition to information on preventing jams and what causes a paper jam, this section includes
instructions for clearing the following jams:
■Paper size jam —see page 6.
■Jam at the tray —see page 7.
■Jam at the Multi-Purpose Tray —see page 10.
■Jam at the exit —see page 13.
■Jam at the front —see page 15.
■Jam at the rear —see page 16.

When there is a paper jam, the printer’s front panel display (1) shows the jam error message. Press the
ibutton (2) for more information about how to clear the jam.
Caution
Avoid touching the toner located on the jammed paper, because the toner might not be fused
to the paper and might rub off.
Videos are available for clearing jams. Videos are located on the Interactive Documentation
CD-ROM and the Xerox web site at: www.xerox.com/officeprinting/4400support/

Preventing jams
■Fan paper prior to loading in the trays or the Multi-Purpose Tray.
■Use clean, undamaged paper. Do not use paper that is curled.
■Load paper from a newly opened package.
■Do not add paper above the tray’s fill line.
■Make sure that the tray guides are properly set for the paper size.
■Use paper sizes that the printer supports. For supported paper sizes, see the Supported Papers
section in the Trays and Paper Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM.
■Load paper correctly. For proper paper-loading instructions, see the Loading Trays section in the
Trays and Paper Guide on the Interactive Documentation CD-ROM.
What causes a paper jam?
Paper jams occur most often under these conditions:
■The paper does not meet specifications.
■The loaded paper size or weight is not supported by the paper tray.
■The paper is damaged, moist, curled, creased, or folded.
■The paper is not loaded properly.
■The tray’s side and rear guides are not adjusted properly for the paper.
■The tray is overfilled; paper is loaded above the tray’s fill line.
