6.1.1 Copy & Scan Document Path
6.1.2 Printer Paper Path
1) After receiving a print command, the printer feeds paper from the main cassette or manual feeder as required.
2) The paper being fed passes the paper feed sensor. (Jam 0 occurs if the sensor is not operated within a certain time)
3) Having passed the paper feed sensor the paper moves to the paper exit sensor via printing process. (Jam 1
occurs if the sensor is not operated within a certain time)
4) The paper then passes through the paper exit sensor and out of the set. (Jam 2 occurs if the trailing edge of the
paper does not pass the exit sensor within a certain time of the paper leading edge activating the exit sensor)

• The tray has been pulled out during a print job.
• The front cover has been opened during a print job.
• Paper was used that does not meet paper specifications.
• Paper that is outside of the supported size range was used.
If a paper jam occurs an error message appears in the LCD display. Find and remove the jammed paper.
If you don't see the paper, open the covers.
