Clear a jam in the device

To clear a jam

1.Remove all media from the output tray.

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 access panel.

2.Check the rear access panel.

a. Push the left side of the rear access panel to the right, and then pull the panel towards you.

b. Locate any jammed media inside the device, grasp it with both hands and then pull it towards you.

3.Open the top cover. If there is paper remaining inside the device, ensure the carriage has moved to the right of the device, free any paper scraps or wrinkled media, and pull the media towards you through the top of the device.

WARNING! Do not reach into the device when it is on and the carriage is stuck. When you open the top cover, the carriage should return to its position on the right side of the device. If it does not move to the right, turn off the device before you remove any jam.

4.After clearing the jam, close all covers, turn on the device (if you turned it off) and resend the print job.
