Removing Jammed Paper
CAUTION:
Do not turn on the printer when removing jams.
To prevent jams, roll paper must be installed when printing on slip paper.
1. For a roll paper jam, open the roll paper cover and remove the
jammed paper.
2. For a slip paper jam, open the printer cover, pull the jammed
slip paper upward slowly to remove it, and then close the
printer cover, and turn the printer back on.

If print quality is poor, the ink nozzles may be obstructed. Follow
