OLVING

ROBLEMS

Open the top cover and the inner cover.

Cautions:

• When removing the jammed paper, be careful not to touch the

heat roller (located underneath the inner cover). It is hot and

could cause burns!

• The top and inner cover themselves may also be hot due to the

heat roller. Allow the printer to cool before opening the covers.

Loosen the paper if it is caught in the heat rollers. Then pull
the paper gently out.
