5.Open the top cover. The print cartridge carriage should return to the right side of the printer. If the carriage does not return to the right side, turn off the printer, and then move the carriage to the right. Pull any jammed paper towards you.

CAUTION Do not reach into the printer when the printer is on and the print cartridge carriage is stuck.

After you clear the jam, close all covers, turn on the printer (if you turned it off), and press the Resume button. The printer will continue the print job on the next page. You will need to resend any pages that were jammed in the printer.

Tips for avoiding paper jams

Make sure nothing blocks the paper path.

Do not use media that is damaged, curled, or wrinkled. It is recommended not to use paper with cutouts or perforations or paper that is heavily textured or embossed.

To ensure that media feeds properly, load only one type of media at a time in the input tray or the manual feed slots.

Make sure media is loaded correctly. See Loading media in the input tray.

For the input tray and front manual feed slot, load the media print-side down with the right edge of the media aligned against the right edge of the tray or slot. Make sure the paper width guide and tray extension fit against the edges of the media. For the rear manual feed slot, load the media print-side up.

Do not load more than 150 sheets of paper, or 15 envelopes, or a stack of media that exceeds the height of the paper width guide into the input tray. Do not load more than 10 sheets of paper into the front manual feed slot. Load only one sheet of paper at a time into the rear manual feed slot.

Always use media that conforms with the types, sizes, and weights listed in Selecting print media. This section also lists tips and guidelines on recommended media.
