5-2 Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Clearing Paper Jams
By carefully selecting paper types and loading them properly, you
should be able to avoid most paper jams. If paper jams occur, an error
message appears on the Status Monitor which pops up automatically
each time you use the printer. The PAPER and the ERROR indicator
light both come on steadily on the operator panel. Follow the steps
below to clear jam. To avoid tearing paper, pull the jammed paper out
gently and slowly.
Paper Jam in Output Area
1. If the paper jams as it exits to the output bin and a long portion
of the paper is visible, pull the paper straight out.
If there is resistance to the paper, and it does not move immediately
when you pull, stop pulling. Continue with the next step.
2. Locate the rear cover and pull it toward you.
