the paper away from the guide

. After the paper rear-most edge has come out, slowly

pull the paper toward you and out of the printer.

Transfer charging roller

• The spring for the transfer guide is strong. Always guide the transfer guide

slowly back to its original position by holding the green lever. Never let it

charging roller. If the roller becomes dirty, the print quality will deteriorate.

If you cannot reach the paper, first open the tray

and remove the envelope feeder

slot cover

from the printer if attached. Then, pull out the jammed paper

holding

its leading edge while opening the release guide

as far as it will go as shown.

Replace the envelope feeder slot cover onto the printer after removing the
jam.
