If you see pieces of torn paper inside the printer, remove the rear 
upper cover then use both hands to pull the jammed paper to the front 
of the printer to remove it.

Never touch the encoder film (a), and try to avoid touching other parts of the 
device.

z

Try to avoid bending the transparent film (b).
