    Cause and Solution

    Paper jammed in the Paper Output Slot and the Auto Sheet Feeder
    Remove the paper following the procedure below.
    (1) Slowly pull the paper out, either from the Auto Sheet Feeder or from the
    Paper Output Slot, whichever is easier.
    • If the paper tears and a piece remains inside the printer, turn the printer off, open the Front Cover, and remove it. Be careful not to touch the components inside the printer. After removing all paper, close the Front Cover and turn it back on.
    • If you cannot pull the paper out, turn the printer off and turn it back on. The paper will be ejected automatically.
    (2) Reload the paper in the printer, and press the RESUME/CANCEL button on
    the printer.
    If you turned off the printer in step 1, all print jobs in queue are canceled. Reprint if
    necessary.
    NOTE

    representative.
