Why is the printer jamming?

Friday, February 18th, 2011

One of the most common reasons why paper jams occur is unclean printers. While printing labels, the paper may jam near the exit. This may be due to unclean rollers of your printer at the exit tray. It is recommended to keep the inside of the printer as clean and dust free as possible. It is suggested to use a lint free cloth and some alcohol based cleaner to clean the printer. Make sure you are using clean printer paper. We recommend you clean your printer every six months or so. Usually cleaning should be done every time you change cartridges.

In some cases there can be compatibility issues with the label sheets and the printer. If even after cleaning you are experiencing the paper jam please call 01733 588 390 and our customer service team will guide you.
