General Considerations for Clearing Jams

Bear in mind the following considerations when attempting jam removal:
CAUTION When pulling the paper, pull it gently so as not to
tear it. Torn pieces of paper are difficult to remove and may
be easily overlooked, deterring the jam recovery.
• If paper jams occur frequently, try using a different type of paper,
replace the paper with paper from another ream, flip the paper stack
over, or rotate the paper stack 180 degrees. The printer may have
problems if paper jams recur after the paper was replaced.
• Whether or not the jammed pages are reproduced normally after
printing is resumed depends on the location of the paper jam.
