    Before you unplug the machine from the power source, you can transfer your faxes that are stored in the machine's memory to your computer or another fax machine so you will not lose any important messages.

  2. Pull the paper tray (1) completely out of the machine.

    Depending on the paper size, it is easier to remove the jammed paper from the front of the machine rather than from the back of the machine.

If the LCD error message continues to appear and you repeatedly experience paper jams, do the following:

  2. Load one sheet of thick A4 or Letter sized paper, such as glossy paper, in the manual feed slot. Insert the paper deep into the manual feed slot.

  3. Re-connect the power cord.

    The paper you placed in the manual feed slot will be fed through the machine and ejected. If the thick paper is pushing any jammed paper out, remove the jammed paper.
