If the paper was loaded in the input tray, you might need to clear the paper jam from the duplexer.

Paper can also jam in the automatic document feeder. Several common actions can cause paper to jam the automatic document feeder:

Placing too much paper in the document feeder tray. For information on the maximum number of sheets allowed in the automatic document feeder, see Understand specifications for supported media.

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

Trying to add paper to the document feeder tray while the device is feeding pages.
