6. Clearing Misfeeds

This chapter explains what to do when paper or originals misfeed (become jammed inside the machine).

Removing Jammed Paper

RCAUTION:

The fusing section of this machine might be very hot. Caution should be tak- en when removing misfed paper.

RCAUTION:

Be careful when replacing the roll paper or removing misfed paper by follow- ing the operating instructions properly. Otherwise, an injury may result from the paper cutter inside.

RCAUTION:

When replacing or loading the paper, or clearing paper jams, pull out the cut paper tray slowly with both hands. Do not pull out the cut paper tray with a single hand. Otherwise the rear of the cut paper tray may fall and an injury may result.

RCAUTION:

Keep your hands clear of the paper exit area and the inside of the folding finisher. You can trap your fingers if you do not.

Important

When clearing misfeeds, do not turn off the operation switch. If you do, your settings will be lost.

To prevent misfeeds, do not leave any torn scraps of paper inside the machine.

Contact your service representative if misfeeds occur frequently.

Note

For details about how to locate and remove misfeeds, see “Locating Jammed Paper” or “Removing Jammed Paper”.

On the original cover, paper output exit cover, or paper roll tray, there is a sticker explaining how to remove misfed paper.
