Paper Jams; Precautions On Clearing Paper Jams - Canon Laser Shot LBP5970 User Manual

Paper Jams

When a paper jam occurs during printing for some reason, the printer beeps,
displaying the message <13 PAPER JAM> in the display. When a paper jam occurs,
remove the jammed paper using the following procedure, and then resume the job.
If the message that indicates the paper jam does not disappear even after removing
the jammed paper following the procedure, there is a possibility that torn pieces of
paper are still left inside the printer. Inspect each part of the printer again, and
completely remove all pieces of jammed paper.

Precautions on Clearing Paper Jams

WARNING
There are some areas inside the printer which are subject to high-voltages.
When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the printer, do
not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the
printer, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.

CAUTION
• The fixing unit and its surroundings inside the printer are hot during use. Make
sure the fixing unit is completely cool before removing the jammed paper.
Touching the fixing unit when it is still hot may result in burns.
• When removing jammed paper, take care not to allow the toner to come into
contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If
they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing with warm
water will set the toner and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
