Understanding jam messages and
locations
When a jam occurs, a message indicating the jam location and
information to clear the jam appears on the printer display. Open the
doors, covers, and trays indicated on the display to remove the jam.
Notes:
•
When Jam Assist is set to On, the printer flushes blank pages or
pages with partial prints after a jammed page has been cleared.
Check your printed output for blank pages.
•
When Jam Recovery is set to On or Auto, the printer reprints
jammed pages. However, the Auto setting reprints jammed
pages only if adequate printer memory is available.
