6 Clearing paper jams

By carefully selecting print media and loading them properly, you should be able to avoid most paper jams. If jams do occur, follow the steps outlined in this section.

To resolve the paper jam messages, you must clear the jammed area and then press Go to clear the message and resume printing. The printer prints a new copy of the page that jammed if Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto; however, the Auto setting does not guarantee the page will print.

To clear paper jams in the Finisher, see the Finisher Manual to locate jam access areas.
