Clear paper jams

If the paper was loaded in the main tray, you might need to clear the paper jam from the rear door.

Paper can also jam in the automatic document feeder (ADF). If the product has an automatic document feeder (ADF), several common actions can cause paper to jam the ADF:

•Placing too much paper in the ADF tray. For information on the maximum number of sheets allowed in the ADF, see Load an original on the scanner glass.

•Using paper that is too thick or too thin for the device.

•Trying to add paper to the ADF tray while the device is feeding pages.

To clear a paper jam from the rear door

1.Press in the tab on the left side of the rear door to release the door. Remove the door by pulling it away from the device.

CAUTION: Trying to clear a paper jam from the front of the device can damage the print mechanism. Always access and clear paper jams through the rear door.

2.Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.

CAUTION: If the paper tears when you are removing it from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the device. If you do not remove all the pieces of paper from the device, more paper jams are likely to occur.

3.Replace the rear door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place.

4.Press OK to continue the current job.
