The paper jams

Open the paper feeder and output tray. Remove all of the paper inside, including any torn pieces, and press the OK button. Reload the paper. If any printing jobs remain, the printer will automatically start printing.

Note:

If you cannot remove a foreign object easily by yourself, do not use force and do not disassemble the printer. Call your dealer for assistance.

If your paper jams frequently, make sure of the following:

• The paper is smooth, not curled or wrinkled.

• The printable side of the paper is face up in the paper feeder.

• The paper stack was fanned before loading.

• The paper is not loaded above the triangular load-limit mark on the left edge guide.

• The number of sheets in the paper stack does not exceed 20.

• The left edge guide is adjusted to fit your paper.

• The printer is on a flat, stable surface that extends beyond the printer base in all directions. The printer will not operate properly if it is tilted.
