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.
