I think that's that same kind we used to have back at college.  They would jam
a lot if you didn't "fluff" the paper before putting in the tray (ie hold the
ream of paper like a book, then flip through all the pages with your thumb a
couple times like you're doing one of those book-animation things, except you
don't do just the corner of the paper, you try to get good separation for the
whole sheet).

HTH,
Matt
