Clear the jammed paper as follows.
If the jammed paper is removed completely by following the steps below, you can install the paper tray first, and then close the front cover. The printer will resume printing automatically.
If the printer does not start printing automatically, press Go. If the printer still does not start printing, check that all the remaining jammed paper has been removed from the printer. Then try printing again.

Always remove all paper from the paper tray and straighten the stack when you add new paper. This helps prevent multiple sheets of paper from feeding through the printer at one time and prevents paper jams.
