Clearing paper jams
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most
paper jams. (See the suggestions in Tips for avoiding paper jams.) If paper jams do occur, follow the
steps outlined in this section.
To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear all paper from the paper path. Press
Go to resume
printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto;
however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.
Identifying paper jam areas
See the diagram on page 68 for the path the paper travels through the printer and options, and areas
where jams may occur. The path varies depending on the paper source and output bin.

same way.
