Removing Jammed Paper

CAUTION


  • Some of this machine's internal components get very hot. For this reason, take care when removing misfed paper. Not doing so could result in burns.


  • When removing jammed paper, make sure not to trap or injure your fingers.

Important

  • When removing paper misfeeds, do not turn off the power. If you do, your copy settings will be lost.

  • To prevent paper misfeeds, do not leave any torn scraps of paper inside the machine.

  • If paper jams continue to occur, see When You Have Problems Operating the Machine, When You Cannot Make Copies As Wanted, When You Cannot Send or Receive Fax Messages As Wanted, and Other Printing Problems for details about how to resolve the problem. If the actions recommended in this manual cannot resolve the problem, contact your service representative.

  • If the error message remains displayed even after you remove misfed paper, fully open the front cover, and then close it.

  • When removing jammed paper, you can touch only those areas explicitly indicated in the manual.

  • Do not remove the fusing unit. Doing so will result in loss of print quality.

  • To remove paper that has not been fed into the fixing section correctly, remove the jammed paper through the underside of the fusing unit. If the jammed paper cannot be removed through the underside of the fusing unit, remove it from the top.

Note

  • If a detailed removal instruction appears on the right of the screen, follow it.

  • You can also use the procedure indicated in the [Check Status] screen to remove jammed paper.
