Clearing Document Jams

When <CHECK DOCUMENT>, <FEEDER PAPER JAM/CHECK THE FEEDER>, or <DOCUMENT TOO LONG> appears on the display, remove a jammed document from the ADF.

Check the following if you experience repeated paper jams:

Fan and tap the paper stack on a flat surface before loading it in the machine.
Check that the paper you are using meets the requirements for use.
Make sure you have removed any scraps of paper from the inside of the machine.

Note-

• If you tear the paper, remove any torn pieces to avoid further jams.
• If your hands or clothes get dirty from touching the toner, wash them immediately in cold water. Do not use hot water. If you do, the toner may be set permanently.
• Do not force a jammed document or paper out of the machine. Contact Canon Customer Care Center if needed.
