Clearing Paper Jams

sheets were fed at all, the Paper jam message appears and the

removing jammed paper, the printer will re-start printing.

General considerations
for clearing jams
CAUTION
When pulling the paper, pull
it gently so as not to tear it. Torn pieces
of paper are difficult to remove and may
be easily overlooked, deterring the jam
recovery.
•
If paper jams occur frequently, try using
a different type of paper, replace the
paper with paper from another ream, flip
the paper stack over, or rotate the paper
stack 180 degrees. The printer may have
problems if paper jams recur after the
paper was replaced.
•
Whether or not the jammed pages are
reproduced normally after printing is
resumed depends on the location of the
paper jam.
•
CAUTION Never use sharp tools like
knifes, screwdrivers or cutters to clear
paperjams. Be aware of rings or watches
as well.
•
CAUTION Do no store paperclips or
staples on any device.
