reverse.
Too much paper was inserted into the entry. The paper was not inserted neatly and is jamming. After

paper neatly, ensuring quantity of paper does not exceed the maximum capacity, and stapled sheets are
inserted with staples at top. Turn switch to STOP and back to AUTO. Re-insert paper making sure non-
