It's me who jammed picus twice.
Now I just jammed homer:'13.1 internal jam'.
It's less of a problem for other users because there is pindar in the same cluster.
I am sorry about that, but I was just following the on-line consultants instructions on how to print on paper of format A4 (21 times 29.7 centimeters).
What I did was the following:
1) Remove all paper from both paper trays.
2) Load 5 pages of A4 paper between the guides on top of the tray.
3) Adjust the width between the guides so it fits my paper. They matched exactely the A4 marks on top of the tray, so I am not doing anything the tray wasn't built for.
4) Print my job.
All three times, it printed a number of pages (up to 20) and then jammed. Every time I was loading five more pages, I made sure to readjust the guides if they had moved a little.
I am sorry I caused problems for other users, but I don't know what I did wrong, and especially I would like someone to tell me how to do it right so it doesn't jam.
