DP N24, N32 and N40 System Administrator Guide
Your DP N40 printer has been designed to provide reliable,
trouble-free operation. However, you may experience an occasional
paper jam.
When the printer detects a misfeed or a paper jam, the printing
process is halted and a Control Panel message is displayed.
After the paper jam has been cleared, the printer will resume
operation to complete the print job. The pages in the print engine
will be reprinted when the jam is cleared and printing resumes.
Paper jams occur most often when:

Be careful not to touch any of the components inside the printer
when removing jammed paper. They may be very hot.
