Press the   [Color] Start button to eject the jammed paper. If the error does not clear, turn the printer off and open the scanner unit, then remove all of the paper inside, including any torn pieces. Do not pull it backward; this can damage the sheet feeder. Close the scanner unit and turn the printer on. Reload the paper and press the Start button to resume printing.

Note:

If you cannot easily remove a foreign object, do not use force and do not disassemble the printer. Call your dealer for assistance.

If your paper jams frequently, make sure of the following:

• The paper is smooth, not curled or wrinkled.

• You are using high quality paper.

• The printable side of the paper is face up in the sheet feeder.

• The paper stack was fanned before loading.

• The paper is not loaded above the  arrow mark on the left edge guide.

• The paper stack fits under the tabs inside the edge guides.

• The number of sheets in the paper stack does not exceed the limit specified for that paper.

If you have loaded the paper too far into the printer, the printer cannot feed the paper correctly. Turn the printer off and gently remove the paper. Then turn the printer on and reload the paper correctly.

• Clear the jammed paper as explained in The paper jams. Also, check the Paper Size setting in your application or printer settings. See online help for details.
