to have the printer repaired. However, due to the low

costs of printers today, it is often cheaper to buy a new

printer instead of having a printer repaired.

As mentioned earlier, paper jams are an inevitability over

the life of your printer. However, if you're encountering

frequent paper jams, the following steps may help

prevent them.

• If your printer has a paper tray, do not fill the tray to

capacity. Overfilling the paper tray is frequently the

cause of paper jams.

• Many printers have sliding mechanisms that allow

different types and sizes of paper to be fed into the

printer. If the slider is not properly positioned, it can

cause a paper jam.
