Solution

Cause

Document is too long or is jammed in ADF (Auto Document Feeder).

 

What to Do

Press the printer's OK button to resolve the error. Then make sure the document you are loading meets the printer's requirements before redoing the operation.

If the document is jammed, remove the jammed document following the instructions below.

 Don't open the document cover if the document is jammed. The jammed document may be torn.

 The printer can't be turned off while it is sending or receiving a fax, or when the received fax or the unsent fax is stored in the printer's memory. Make sure that all faxes have been sent and received, press the printer's Stop  button to stop printing, and then turn off the printer.

 Don't unplug the power cord after turning off the printer. If you unplug the power cord, all the faxes stored in the printer's memory are deleted.

  1. If printing is in progress, press printer's Stop  button.

  2. Turn off the printer.

  3. Remove any pages other than the jammed page from the ADF.

  4. Remove jammed document. The steps to take will vary depending on where the document is jammed.

    If the document is jammed near the document feed slot of the ADF:

    1. Slowly open the document feeder cover.

  5. Close the document feeder cover.

  6. Turn on the printer.

    When rescanning the document, scan from the first page.

     The document may not feed properly depending on the media type, or your environment, such as when the temperature and humidity are either too high or too low.

    In this case, reduce the number of document pages to approximately half of the loading capacity.

    If the document still jams, use the platen (scanner glass) instead.

If the measures above don't solve the problem, servicing is required.
