Check

Switch functions?

Is the release lever set to the h position?

Is the ASF correctly mounted?

Is paper caught up near the print head?

Are the left and right guides too close together?

The release lever should be set to the single-sheet position.

Make sure that the ASF is properly seated on the printer.

Stop printing, remove the jammed sheet (you may have to remove the ASF for this), and continue.

If the left and right guides are too close together, the paper will not feed smoothly. Move them a little further apart to allow the paper to feed freely.

Is there too much paper in the paper feed hopper or stacker?

The ASF’s paper feed hopper and stacker can hold 120 sheets each. Make sure that there is no more paper than this in either the hopper or stacker.

Was the paper fanned before being fed into the ASF?

If this is not done, paper jams may occur. Remove the stack of paper from the ASF and fan it before reinsert- ing.

Has the paper been used al- ready or is it creased?

Are you trying to feed paper using the front panel buttons while the ON LINE indicator is illuminated?

Is the paper too thick or too thin?

Only new, uncreased paper should be used with the ASF.

You can only feed paper in this way when the printer is off-line. Set the printer off-line and then feed paper.
