●If the error appears while printing,
determine whether it occurs when
printing from a specific computer, a
specific application, 
or a specific file. If
all other computers, applications, or files
can print without the error, then the
problem may be only within one print job
or computer. Make sure the computer
has the most current printer drivers, or
use a generic printer driver.
● If the error occurs when the device is
first turned on, turn off the device,
disconnect the LAN cable, and then turn
on the device. This process will
determine if errors occur from the
network connection. If errors do not
appear when the LAN cable is
unplugged, it is possible traffic or signal
on the network might be causing the
error. Make sure to try all solutions
suggested, especially upgrading the
Jetdirect firmware.
● Disable the print server.
●
For EIO print servers, remove the
card.
● For embedded print servers, use
the Service menu.
● If the problem persists, contact
HP Support.

Common causes of jams
The device is jammed.1
CauseSolution
The media does not meet specifications.Use only media that meets HP specifications. See Mediaconsiderations.
A component is installed incorrectly.Verify that all print cartridges, the transfer unit, and the fuser
are correctly installed.
You are using media that has  already passed through a device
or copier.Do not use media that has  been previously printed on or
copied.
An input tray is loaded incorrectly.Remove any excess media from the input tray. Make sure that
the stack is below the maximum stack height mark in the tray.
See 
Load media .
The media is skewed.The input-tray guides are not adjusted correctly. Adjust them
so they hold the stack firmly in place without bending it.
The media is binding or sticking together.Remove the media, flex it, rotate it 180°, or flip it over. Reload
the media into the input tray.
NOTEDo not fan paper. Fanning can create static
electricity, which can cause paper to stick together.
The media is removed before it settles into the output bin.Reset the device. Wait until the page completely settles in the
output bin before removing it.
During two-sided printing, you removed the paper before the
second side of the document was printed.Reset the device and print the document again. Wait until the
page completely settles in the output bin before removing it.
The media is in poor condition.Replace the media.
The internal rollers from tray 2 or tray 3 are not picking up the
media.Remove the top sheet of media. If the media is heavier than
163 g/m2 (43 lb), it might not be picked from the tray.
The media has rough or jagged edges.Replace the media.
The media is perforated or embossed.Perforated or embossed media does not separate easily. Feed
single sheets from tray 1.
Device supply items have reached the end of their useful life.Check the device control panel for messages prompting you
to replace supplies, or print a su pplies status page to verify the
remaining life of the supplies. See 
Use information pages .
Paper was not stored correctly.Replace the paper in the trays. Paper should be stored in the
original packaging in a controlled environment.
1If the device still continues to jam, contact HP Cu stomer Support or your authorized HP service provider.
