Misfed paper may be covered in toner. Be careful not to get toner on your hands or clothes.
Toner on prints made after removing misfed paper may be loose (inadequately fused). Make a few test prints until smudges no longer appear.
Do not forcefully remove misfed paper, it will tear. Torn pieces remaining inside the printer will cause further misfeeds and possibly damage the printer.
Paper jams can cause pages to be lost. Check your print job for missing pages and reprint any pages that did not print out.
