CLEARING PAPER JAMS
Provided that you follow the recommendations in this guide on use of
print media, and you keep the media in good condition prior to use,
your printer should give years of reliable service. However, paper
jams occasionally do occur, and this section explains how to clear
them quickly and simply.
Jams can occur due to paper misfeeding from a paper tray or at any
point on the paper path through the printer. When a jam occurs, the
printer immediately stops, and the LCD window on the operator panel
informs you of the event. If printing multiple pages (or copies), do not
assume that having cleared an obvious sheet that others will not also
be stopped somewhere along the path. These must also be removed
in order to clear the jam fully and restore normal operation.
1.
If a sheet is well advanced out of the top of the printer, simply
grip it and pull gently to draw it fully out. If it does not remove
easily, do not use excessive force. It can be removed from the
rear later.
2.
Press the cover release and open the printer’s top cover fully.
WARNING!
If the printer has been powered on, the fuser will be hot. This area is
clearly labeled. Do not touch.
