Clearing Media Jams
To avoid damage, always remove jammed media gently, without tearing it. Any pieces of
media left in the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the paper path and cause
further jams. Do not reload media that has jammed.
Attention
The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you touch the
printed surface, the toner may stick to your hands, so be careful not to touch the
print f ace when removing t he jammed me dia. Make sure not to spi ll any to ner inside
the print er. Unf used toner can dirty your ha nds, clothes , or anythin g else it get s on. If
you accidentally get toner on your hands, wash them in cool water. If you
accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as much as possible. If
some toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off,
provided your clothing is washable. If toner gets on your skin, wash it off with water
or a neutral detergent.
WARNING!
If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.

If, after clearing the media jam, the jam message in the control panel window persists,
open and close the printer’s covers. This should clear the jam message.
