How do I clear paper jams at the back of the machine?
To clear paper jams, please follow the steps below. NOTE: Illustrations shown below are from the representative product and may differ from your Brother machine.
After you have just used the machine, some internal parts of the machine will be extremely hot. To prevent injury, when you open the front or back cover (back output tray) of the machine DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustration. If you do this you may get burned.
To prevent damage to the machine caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration.
Press the front cover release button and open the front cover.
Slowly take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly.
We recommend that you place the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a clean, flat surface with a sheet of disposable paper or cloth underneath it in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
Open the back cover (back output tray).
Pull the tabs at the left and right hand sides toward you to open the fuser cover (1).
Pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit.
Close the fuser cover and back cover (back output tray).
Put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly back in the machine.
Close the front cover.
Please confirm that you have installed both a toner cartridge and a drum unit in the machine. If you have not installed a drum unit or have installed the drum unit improperly, then this may cause a paper jam in your Brother machine.
If the error message remains, open and close the front cover and fuser cover firmly to reset the machine.
