Clearing Paper Jams

If a REMOVE PAPER JAM or REMOVE DUPLEX JAM message appears in the display panel, look for jammed paper in any of the locations indicated in Figure 7-1. (This message may also be displayed if the rear door is not closed correctly.)

If paper jams are a recurring problem, see “Repeated Paper Jams” at the end of this section.

Paper jams occur most often when:

Paper trays are not correctly loaded (see Chapter 4).

Your print media does not meet the specifications listed in Appendix A.

The media is in poor condition.

The printer needs cleaning.

User-replaceable parts are wearing out (see Chapter 8).

N o t e

The top cover or rear cover of the printer must be opened and then

 

closed in order to clear the paper jam message. If paper jams occur

 

frequently, clean the printer and check the quality of your paper or other

 

print media.
