Troubleshooting CHAPTER This chapter describes the problems you might encounter when using the machine and their remedies. It also explains what to do if you cannot solve the problem by yourself. Clearing Jams This section describes how to remove jammed paper. Removing Jammed Paper from Inside the Machine When print media jams inside the machine, the LCD displays <REC.
Page 128 If a paper jam occurs when using the multi-purpose feeder, hold both sides of the jammed paper and pull it out from the multi-purpose feeder. Pull out the cassette completely. If a paper jam occurs when using the paper cassette, hold both sides of the jammed paper and pull it out from the machine.
Page 129 Remove the cartridge. IMPORTANT • Remove watches and any bracelets or rings when touching the inside of the machine. These items might be damaged if they come into contact with the parts inside the machine. • When removing the jammed paper, do not touch the transfer roller (shaded part) as its surface is very delicate and susceptible to finger oil and scratches, which may lead to print deterioration.
Page 130 Roll the leading end of the paper outwards so that the printed surface is on the inside of the roll, then gently pull the rolled up paper out of the machine. If the leading edge of the paper is visible but has not entered the imaging area, pull the paper forwards and roll it inwards.
Page 131 • Do not pull the jammed paper upward; the toner on the paper will stain the printer and cause a permanent reduction in print quality. Open the face up cover and push down the green paper release levers on both sides of the face up paper output.
Page 132: Removing Jammed Paper From The Adf
If the jammed paper is badly folded, similar to the folds of an accordion, ease the jammed paper loose and then pull it out of the machine. Push the paper release levers back to their original position and close the face up cover. IMPORTANT •...

Page 136: Paper Feeding Problems
Paper Feeding Problems Paper does not feed correctly. Does the cassette or multi-purpose feeder contain an appropriate quantity of sheets? Make sure the paper stack in the cassette or the paper in the multi-purpose feeder does not exceed the capacity of the cassette or multi-purpose feeder. (See “Loading Paper,” on p. 4-3.) Is paper loaded correctly? Make sure the paper stack in the cassette or the paper in the multi-purpose feeder is loaded properly, and that the slide guides are adjusted correctly.
Page 137 (See “Loading Paper,” on p. 4-3.) Is the proper transparency loaded in the multi-purpose feeder? Do not use any transparencies designed for color copiers. They will cause a paper jam. Please use transparencies recommended by Canon. Paper feeds curled. Is the proper paper loaded? Check if the proper paper is loaded in the cassette or multi-purpose feeder.
Page 138 Repeated paper jams occur. Is the proper paper loaded? Check that the size, thickness and type of the paper you are using. (See “Print Media Requirements,” on p. 4-1.) Is the proper paper loaded correctly? Be sure to fan the paper stack before loading it in the cassette. This keeps the sheets of paper from sticking together.
Page 139: Faxing Problems
Faxing Problems Sending Problems You cannot send a fax. Is the machine overheated? Unplug the machine and let it cool for approximate 3 minutes to 5 minutes. Then plug in the machine and try sending again. Did you connect the power cord to the machine just now? Wait for a while.
Page 140 Did an error occur during sending? Print an ACTIVITY REPORT and check for an error. (See “Activity Report,” on p. 12-1.) Is the telephone line working properly? Make sure there is a dial tone when you pick up the handset of the telephone connected to the machine.
Page 141: Receiving Problems
Cannot send using ECM (Error Correction Mode). Does the receiving fax machine support ECM? If the receiving fax machine does not support ECM, the document is sent in the normal mode without error checking. Errors occur frequently while sending. Are the telephone lines in proper condition? Or do you have a good connection? Lower the transmission speed.
Page 142 The machine does not switch automatically between telephone and fax receptions. Is the machine set to switch automatically between telephone and fax receptions? For the machine to switch automatically, the receive mode must be set to <AnsMode>. (See Chapter 7, “Receiving Faxes.”) Confirm that an answering machine is connected to the machine and that it is turned on with an outgoing message properly recorded.
Page 143 Is any toner left in the cartridge? Replace the cartridge with a new one. For more information, see “Installing/Replacing the Toner Cartridge,” on p. 2-17. Select <KEEP PRINTING> in <TONER SUPPLY LOW> in <FAX SETTINGS> of the Menu. With this setting, the machine will not store documents in the memory even if the toner has run out.
