The following are some of the causes of jams:
●The input trays are loaded incorrectly or are too full.
NOTE:When you add new media, always remove all of the media from the input tray and
straighten the entire stack. This helps prevent multiple feeds and reduces media jams.
●The media does not meet HP specifications.
●The device might need to be cleaned to remove paper dust and other...

CAUTION:To prevent damage to the print cartridge, minimize its exposure to direct light.
2.With both hands, grasp the side of the media that is most visible (this includes the middle), and 
carefully pull it free from the device.
