If You Cannot Remove Jammed Paper

This section explains how to remove badly jammed paper that you cannot remove by the usual methods.

Important

  • If the bypass tray and duplex unit are attached to the printer, switch the printer off and detach the duplex unit.

  • Do not touch the feed belt, the transparent black band, print head rail rod, ink tubes, paper pressing board, or toothed rubber belt. Also, take care not to snag any cables or ink tubes with your sleeves.

  • If the printer's ink tube is preventing access to the jammed paper, carefully pull the tube to the side. Do not pull the tube upward. Pulling the tube upward will damage the printer.

Note

  • Before starting a print job, be sure to attach the output ramp.

  • Align the paper and reload it in the paper tray. Loading paper over the limit line in the tray may result in a paper jam.
