Removing Misfed Paper

When a paper misfeed occurs, an error message appears on the panel display. The procedure you should follow to remove the misfed paper depends on the location of the misfeed, which is indicated on the panel display.

RCAUTION:

When removing misfed paper, do not touch the fusing section because it could be very hot.

Important

Check the following points if paper continues to misfeed.

If misfeeds persist, contact your sales or service representative.
