Clearing

Paper Jams

Caution
Your printer has been designed to provide reliable, trouble-
free operation. Nonetheless, 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. Set the Jam Recovery
option to On to guarantee that pages in the print engine
when the jam occurs will be reprinted. Refer to the section
"Memory Considerations" (page 1-11).
Paper jams occur most often when:
• The throughput paper stock does not meet specification.
See Chapter 2: Paper Handling.
• The paper stock is in poor condition.
• The paper stock has been improperly loaded into the
paper trays.
• The printer needs cleaning.
• Printer parts are worn and need to be replaced.
Table 6.4 on page 6-30 lists the types of paper jams that may
occur. If you see a Control Panel message that indicates a
paper jam, find the message in the left-hand column and
perform the accompanying steps to clear the paper jam.
Be careful not to touch any of the components inside the
printer when removing jammed paper. They may be very hot.
