MISFEED REMOVAL

Misfeed in the transport area, fusing area, and exit area

Transport area1 Open the upper side cover and check for a misfeed.

Grasp the finger hold and gently open the cover.

NOTE

If paper is loaded in the bypass tray, temporarily remove the paper and close the bypass tray before opening the side cover.

Be careful not to tear the misfed paper during removal.

NOTE

The misfeed may have occurred inside the machine. Check carefully and remove it.

2 Gently close the upper side cover.

NOTE

Even after clearing a misfeed, paper may remain inside the machine on the transfer belt where it is not visible. In this case, after visible misfeeds are removed, the paper on the transfer belt will be automatically moved to a position where it is visible and a misfeed will be indicated once again on the display. Clear the misfeed as explained in "Misfeed in the transfer unit" (step 3 on the right side of this page). For this reason, it may be necessary to perform the "Misfeed in the transfer unit" procedure twice.
