If a document doesn’t feed through the scanner properly during trans-
mission or copying, or DOCUMENT JAM appears in the display, first
try pressing the START key. If the document doesn’t come out of the
feeder, open the operation panel by squeezing the operation panel
release on the right side of the operation panel (marked "PULL
OPEN"), and gently pull out document.
