Clearing Paper Jams
To clear a paper jam, follow these steps:
1. Press the
Operate button to turn off the printer.
2. If a single sheet of paper is stuck on the paper guide base,
gently remove it.
3. Remove the printer cover. If continuous paper from the rear
slot is loaded in the printer, remove the paper guide base.
4. If continuous paper is jammed in the printer, tear off the
supply at the perforation nearest the paper entry slot.
5. Turn the knob away from you to eject the paper in the
printer. Remove any remaining pieces of paper.
Use the knob to clear paper jams only when the printer
is turned off; otherwise, you may damage the printer or
lose the top-of-form or tear-off position.
6. Replace the paper guide base, if necessary, and replace the
printer cover. Then close the paper guide cover.
7. Press the
Operate button to turn on the printer. Make sure
the Paper Out and Pause lights are off.
