REMOVING MISFEEDS

This chapter explains what to do when a paper misfeed occurs in the machine.
Removing misfeeds
When a paper misfeed occurs, "A misfeed has occurred." appears in the touch panel and printing stops. In this event,
touch the [Information] key in the touch panel. When the key is touched, instructions for removing the misfeed will
appear. Follow the instructions. (The approximate locations of possible misfeeds are indicated by blinking
shown below.)
Caution
The fusing unit is hot. Take care not to burn yourself when removing a misfeed.
• When removing misfed paper, do not touch or damage the transfer belt.
• Carefully pull the paper out without tearing it.
• A misfeed may have occurred inside the machine. Check carefully and remove the
misfeed.
• If the paper tears, be sure to remove all pieces from the machine.
