Clearing Paper Jams
If the paper jammed in the paper transport system, or no paper sheets
were fed at all, the Paper jam message appears and the location of the
paper jam (the component where the paper jam has occurred) is also
indicated. The printer automatically goes off-line when this message is
displayed. Remove jammed paper. After removing jammed paper, the
printer will re-start printing.

The figure below explains the printer’s paper paths including the options.
The locations where paper jams might occur are also shown here, with
