Why Is It Still Jamming?
5 Reasons Copier/Printers Keep Jamming And The Solutions
Possible Cause 1:
Paper was not loaded correctly.

Possible Cause 2:
Paper is sticking together, using low quality paper?
Solution 2:
Make sure to fan the paper to allow air to get between the sheets. We all try to save on expenses but some things are worth the extra cost. Get good quality paper meant for Copier/Printers.
Possible Cause 3:
Previous jam was not completely cleared.
