Set Prevent Paper Jam

Set the 'Prevent paper jam' setting in the printer driver only when A3 sized plain paper jams frequently near the paper output slot or is curled.

Selecting the 'Prevent paper jam' setting results in lower printing speed and lower print quality.

* Deactivate the Prevent paper jam setting once printing is complete. If not, this setting remains enabled for all subsequent print jobs.
