Clearing paper jams
Note
• When removing paper that is jammed in the printer, if possible
always pull the paper in the direction that it normally moves so
as not to damage internal components. Always pull firmly and
evenly; do not jerk the paper. If the paper tears, ensure that all
fragments of paper are removed; otherwise a jam will occur
again.
When a paper jam occurs, the Error LED lights orange. Open and close
the front cover. The jammed paper automatically exits the printer.
