I think there is a problem with the quality of the paper that you are using in print. One of the most common causes of printer jam is thin paper used. According to Cnet, this model of printer accepts the following types and sizes of papers.

Paper Sizes

Letter A Size (8.5 in x 11 in),
Legal (8.5 in x 14 in),
Statement (5.5 in x 8.5 in),
Executive (7.25 in x 10.5 in),
Folio (8.5 in x 13 in)

Paper Types

Plain paper ,
Bond paper ,
Envelopes ,
Transparencies ,
Polyester labels ,
Vinyl labels

Read the user's manual here for more information.
