Cause

Paper is jammed in paper output slot or in rear tray.
 

What to Do

Remove the jammed paper following the procedure below.

1. Slowly pull out paper, either from paper output slot or from rear tray, whichever is easier.

   Hold the paper with both hands, and pull it out slowly so as not to tear it.
    

   
    

    Note

   • If you cannot pull out the paper, turn the printer back on without pulling forcibly. The paper may be ejected automatically.
      
   • If paper becomes jammed during printing and you need to turn off the printer to remove it, press the Stop button to stop the printing before you turn off the printer.

   • If the paper tears and you cannot remove the jammed paper from the paper output slot or the rear tray, remove the paper from inside the printer.

2. Reload paper and press the printer's Black or Color button.

   The printer resumes printing. Reprint the page you were printing if it was not printed properly due to the paper jam.

   If you turned off the printer in step 1, the print data that was sent to the printer is erased. Redo the printing.
    

    Note

   • When reloading the paper, make sure you are using suitable paper and loading it correctly.
      
   • We recommend using paper sizes other than A5 to print documents with photos or graphics. A5 paper may curl and jam as it leaves the printer.
