Clearing paper jams
When a paper jam occurs, the printer stops and the operator panel
Paper Jam and Continue lights come on. Press and release
Continue twice quickly to display the specific secondary error
paper jam light sequence. See Common operator panel light
sequences for more information.
We recommend that you clear the entire paper path when a paper jam
occurs.
To clear a paper jam:
1If you are feeding paper from a tray, remove the tray, and then
remove any jams.
2Open the front cover, and remove the print cartridge assembly.
3Remove any jams in the area behind the print cartridge
assembly.
4Lift the flap at the front of the printer, and remove any jams
beneath the flap.
5Open the rear exit, and remove any jams.
6After you have cleared the jams, reinstall the print cartridge
assembly, make sure all printer covers and trays are closed, and
then press Continue to resume printing.
