Removing jammed media

To avoid ink smears inside the printer, always try to pull jammed paper or
transparency media out through the top of the printer (the exit cover). If the
jammed media cannot be cleared from the exit cover, open the front cover
and check for jammed media. If the jam is not inside the front cover, remove
the media tray and check for jammed media.
