Troubleshooting

Close the printer’s top cover and the multipurpose tray cover
(if opened). The printer resets itself and continues operation.

Determine which cassette is currently being used and
remove it.

Check the cassette pick-up roller area, and remove any
jammed print media that remains outside the main unit.
