against the feeding direction. Doing so can damage the internal parts
of the scanner.

• Be careful when you clear a paper jam. You may be injured
unexpectedly. For example, the paper edges may cut your
fingers, or the document may be damaged.
• Remove all jammed sheets of paper. Paper scraps left inside
the scanner may cause a paper jam or malfunction.
