Clearing Paper Jams

NOTE: When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if possible always pull the paper in the direction that it normally moves so as not to damage internal components. Always pull firmly and evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur again.

If a paper jam occurs, the Status LED on the control panel lights red. Find and remove the jammed paper.

To resume printing after clearing paper jams, you must open and close the front cover or rear cover.

1Pull the tray out of the printer and remove the jammed paper.
