LaserWriter II: Minimum Paper Length is 6 Inches



I'm trying to manually feed 8.5 x 5.5-inch paper into a LaserWriter IINTX.
I keep getting the jam alarm as the paper reaches the fuser. (The paper is
not actually jammed but the electronic sensor thinks it is.) Is my paper
too short?

The minimum paper length for the LaserWriter II engine is very close to 5.5
inches. At 5.5 inches, the paper has already left the feed rollers in the
transfer guide assembly and may not be suitably fed into the fuser
assembly. As the fuser cannot pick up the paper, a jam alarm goes off.
Our measurements suggest that six inches is the minimum length for printer
paper.
