If a paper jam occurs, the printer will tell you by flashing the Error LED as shown below.
HOT SURFACE
| | After you have just used the printer, some parts inside the printer are extremely hot! When you open the front cover or back cover of the printer, never touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations. |
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 and the printer will resume printing automatically.
If the printer does not start printing automatically, press the Go button. If the printer still does not start printing, please check that all the remaining jammed paper has been removed from the printer. Then try printing again.
Note
| | 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 reduces paper jams. |

| 2 | Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer. |
