| Clearing Paper Jams |
| If the printer’s control panel displays a paper jam message, look for |
| paper in the locations indicated in Figure 15, then see the procedure |
| for clearing the paper jam. You might need to look for paper in other |
| locations than indicated in the paper jam message. If the location |
| of the paper jam is not obvious, look first in the top cover area. |
| When clearing paper jams, be very careful not to tear the paper. If |
| a small piece of paper is left in the printer, it could cause additional |
| jams. If paper jams are a recurring problem, see page 62. |
| A paper jam message might also display if the rear door is open. |
Note | |
| The top cover of the printer must be opened and then closed to clear |
| a paper jam message. |
| Paper jams can occur at the following locations: |

Note | Loose toner might remain in the printer after a paper jam, but the |
| toner should clear after a few sheets are printed. |
