An incorrect paper size or “”
indicates an unsuccessful paper size
detection. In this case, check the
following items.
Check if the paper with an
unacceptable size is placed in the
tray.
For details about the acceptable

The equipment starts the warm-up. Follow the guidance on the touch panel.
Tips on removing the jammed paper
Note the following points in removing the jammed paper.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THE HARDWARE
Remove the jammed paper carefully so as not to tear it.
To avoid tearing the jammed paper, remove the paper slowly with both hands. Using force may tear the paper,
making it more difficult to remove. See also that no pieces of torn paper are left inside the equipment.
When the paper jam sign remains after removing the jammed paper:
Depending on the timing of the occurrence, no jammed paper may be found where the paper jam sign indicates. If the
sign does not disappear after you have removed the jammed paper, follow the steps as instructed on the touch panel.
Do not touch the connectors inside the equipment.
This could cause a malfunction.
Do not touch the fuser unit or the metal portion around it.
Do not touch the fuser unit or the metal portion around it when you
remove the paper jammed in the right side of the equipment. This could
burn you or the shock could cause you to get your hand injured in the
machine.
Do not touch the transfer belt.
When you remove the paper jammed in the right side of the equipment,
be sure not to touch the transfer belt. This could stain copy images.
Clearing a Paper Jam 19

1.TROUBLESHOOTING FOR THE HARDWARE
If paper jams occur frequently
The following are the common causes of paper jams. If the problem persists, check for the following situations.
An unsuitable original is placed on the ADF.
Unavailable paper with the equipment is used.
Paper sizes are not consistent between the size in a tray or the MPT and the size registered in the equipment.
All the jammed paper has not been removed.
There is too much of a gap between the paper and the side or end guide in the tray.
The amount of paper placed in a tray exceeds the limit indicated on the side guide of the tray.

Clearing paper jams caused by a wrong paper size setting
Paper jams occur when there is a mismatch between the size of the paper in a tray or the MPT and the size registered
for the corresponding tray or the MPT in the equipment. The message “Check paper size setting on control panel for
tray N. Check the direction or size of the paper.” or “Check paper size setting on control panel for MPT. Check the
direction or size of the paper.” appears on the touch panel.
In this case, just clearing the jammed paper does not prevent another paper from being jammed. Be sure to follow the
procedure below.
Troubleshooting differs depending on how the paper jam has occurred:
P.56 “Jam when making copies or prints (using a tray)”
P.58 “Jam when making copies or prints (using the MPT)”
P.59 “Jam when printing from the Fax”

0.When Printed Sheets Overflow from the Stacker
When thin, small size paper (A4-R/LT-R or smaller) is used, the end of the sheets may get stuck in the stacker walls. If
300 or more sheets are printed under such condition, some printed sheets may be pushed out of the stacker.
In the case above, installing the paper exit stopper at the designated location of the stacker will increase the amount
of recommended plain paper that can be loaded on to the stacker to about 500 sheets.
When printing a large number of large size sheets such as A3 and A4/LD and LG, place the paper exit stopper back in
its original location.
When the finisher is installed in the equipment, use the paper exit stopper installed in its original location.
When the Job Separator is installed in the equipment, attach the paper exit stopper at the designated location of
the stacker.
When a large number of large size sheets such as A3 are output to the stacker of the equipment while the finisher is
installed, remove them in more than one time.
Removing the paper exit stopper from its original location
Unfold the paper exit stopper located on the left of the stacker and remove it from its groove
