(5) Open the rear cover and pull the jammed paper out of the fixing unit. If you have to pull the paper towards the back of the printer, the fuser may get dirty with toner powder and may result in toner scatter on the next printed page or pages. Print a few copies of the test page until the toner scatter on the printed pages stops. (Fig. 6-4)

(6) Close the rear cover.
