Clearing Paper Jams

2

Brace one hand against the printer and pull the paper out with your other hand.

CAUTION

The fixing assembly (shaded) becomes extremely hot when the printer
is in use. Be careful not to touch it as it may cause injury.

If the jammed paper cannot be easily removed, do not force it. This can
happen when the trailing edge of the paper is still within the paper feed area.
The pressure from the transfer roller must be released before removing the
paper. To do this, open the top cover and follow the instructions (see page
137) to hold the green mark and flip the transfer guide up. Then, try to remove
the jammed paper from this area. After removing the paper, gently set the
transfer guide back to its original position.

3

When you have cleared the paper jam, use the following procedure to return the
face-up tray to its original position.
Press in the stoppers on each side of the tray

q

and close it to its original position using

both hands

w

.

4

To clear the PAPER JAM messege, open the top cover for a moment and then close it.

Please do not close the top cover by slamming it.
