FS-C8100DN Clearing Paper Jams
If the paper jams in the paper transport system, or no paper sheets were fed at all, the Pape r j am
message appears and the location of the paper jam (the component where the paper jam has
occurred) is also indicated. The printer automatically goes off-line when this message is displayed.
Remove the jammed paper. After removing the jammed paper, the printer will re-start printing.

The figure below explains the printer’s paper paths including the options. The locations where paper
jams might occur are also shown here, with each location explained in the table below. Paper jams
