If the Paper Jams

If the paper jams while the printer is printing, the ALARM lamp will light. Press the Operation switch to turn the printer off, and then press the Operation switch to turn the printer on again. The paper inside the printer will be ejected automatically.

If this procedure does not clear the paper jam and the ALARM lamp remains lit, follow the procedure described below to remove the jammed paper.

1 Turn the printer off and unplug the power cord.

2 If there are any printed sheets in the paper supply/eject tray, remove those sheets, and then remove the tray.

3 Open the ribbon cartridge cover, and remove the ink ribbon cartridge.

Note

If you cannot remove the ink ribbon cartridge, contact your dealer or the nearest Sony Service Center.

4 Remove the jammed paper.

If you cannot remove the jammed paper, or if you cannot see the jammed paper, follow the procedure described below.

If you were able to completely remove all of the jammed paper, skip ahead to step 7.

5 Remove the bottom cover by pressing on the marks and then sliding the cover down.
