4.Remove any jammed sheets from the paper path.

5.Re-install the image drum, ensuring that it cor- rectly locates into the slots on each side of the printer.

6.Close the top cover and press down to latch it closed.

7.The printer will warm up and commence printing when ready. The page lost through the jam will normally be reprinted.

Note: If the edge of the jammed paper protrudes (or can be seen) from the exit, reinstall the image drum, close the top cover and switch the printer on. Remove the jammed paper from the exit when the exit roller begins rotating after a few seconds from switching on. However, if the jammed paper cannot be removed, contact a service representative.
