How to remove jammed paper
Where did the paper jam occur?
Note: If you cannot remove jammed paper as instructed below, the printer may require servicing. Please contact your local Service Center. Make sure to set the paper with the short side down.
- Turn off the printer.
- If you see the jammed paper in the auto sheet feeder / paper output slot / front feeder, remove it gently. If you do not see the jammed paper in one of those places, it may be in the rear of the machine. See <How to remove the jammed paper from the rear of the machine> below for details.
