How To Rescue Your Printer From a (Paper) Jam
|
If your print job stops in the middle or doesn’t start at all, suspect a paper jam. Jams can happen when paper is torn, folded, or inserted incorrectly. Humid conditions can also be a factor. A printer that jams frequently may need to be professionally cleaned or have certain parts replaced. High-quality paper seems to jam less often than cheaper varieties. Spending a little more for better paper may prevent problems down the road.
Ink jet printers, especially low-cost ones, are sensitive to paper position and weight. Always set your paper guides carefully, and never mix paper types in the same tray. Pull jammed sheets of paper out of the printer in the *opposite* direction of the way they normally move through it. Check for bits of paper that may remain lodged in the printer. Habitual jamming can be caused by out-of-alignment rollers. See if you can 'gently' realign them.
