Clearing paper jams
By carefully selecting print materials and loading them properly, you
should be able to avoid most paper jams. See page 79 for instructions on
loading media. For other tips on avoiding paper jams, see page 105. If
you do experience a paper jam, follow the instructions in this chapter to
clear the jam and continue printing.
Understanding paper jam messages
When a paper jam occurs, the printer displays a two-line
2 xx Paper Jam
message and stops operating. Although the location of the paper jam
appears on the second line of the display,
you must clear all paper from
the entire paper path. Press the
Go
button on the operator panel to clear
the message and continue printing.
See “Paper path” on page 42 for an illustration of the areas where you can
access jammed paper.
NOTE: If you have an optional finisher attached to your printer,
the message
Leave Staple Job in Finisher
,
Clear Staple Job
from Finisher
, or
Clear Job from Finisher
may alternate
with the
2 xx Paper Jam
message.
