Solution

Paper Jammed inside the Printer

If the jammed paper tears and you can't remove the paper either from the paper output slot or the feed slot, or if the jammed paper remains inside the printer, remove the paper following the instructions below.

 If paper becomes jammed during printing and you need to turn off the printer to remove it, press the printer's Stop button to stop the printing before you turn off the printer.

  1. Turn off the printer and unplug it.

  2. Open the scanning unit / cover.

    Open the scanning unit / cover

     Don't touch the clear film (A), white belt (B), or tubes (C).

    If you soil or scratch these parts by touching them with paper or your hand, it could damage the printer.

  3. Check if the jammed paper is under the print head holder.

    If the jammed paper is under the print head holder, move the print head holder to the far right or left, whichever makes it easier to remove the paper.

    When moving the print head holder, hold the top of the print head holder and slide it slowly to the far right or left.

  6. Make sure all jammed paper is removed.

    If the paper tears when you pull it out, a bit of paper may remain in the printer. Check the following and remove any remaining paper.

    • Is any paper left under the print head holder?

    • Are any small bits of paper left in the printer?

    • Is any paper left in the left and right empty spaces (D) in the printer?

  7. Gently close the scanning unit / cover by holding it up once, then gently taking it down.

  8. Plug in the printer again and turn it back on.

    All jobs in the print queue are canceled. You'll need to print again.

     When reloading the paper, make sure you are using suitable paper and loading it correctly.

     If a paper jam message appears on the printer's LCD or on your computer screen when you resume printing after removing all the jammed paper, there may be some paper still inside the printer. Check the printer again for any remaining bits of paper.

If the measures above don't solve the problem, your printer requires servicing.

 Don't tilt the printer when moving it since the ink may leak out.

 Learn how to prepare the printer for transportation if servicing is required.
