Make sure the Jam Clear Cover at the back of the machine is closed.

 

 

 

 

 

If the Touchscreen shows the Paper Jam message and you still have a problem,

 

 

see Error and Maintenance messages on page 83.

 

 

 

 

 

If there is no paper, load a new stack of paper into the paper tray.

 

 

 

 

 

If there is paper in the paper tray, make sure it is straight. If the paper is curled,

 

 

you should straighten it. Sometimes it is helpful to remove the paper, turn the stack

 

 

over and put it back into the paper tray.

 

 

 

 

 

Reduce the amount of paper in the paper tray, and then try again.
