5 - 17   TROUBLESHOOTING

If a paper jam occurs, printing stops and an error message appears on the control panel informing you 
of the location of the paper jam.

To clear the paper jam, read the error message, refer to the appropriate section below, and follow the 
procedure.

Attempting to print while there is paper jammed in the printer may damage the printer. Remove 
jammed paper immediately.

■

The illustration above shows the printer with the two optional lower trays, duplex unit, and offset 
catch tray installed.

■

If the jammed paper is removed without opening the top cover, you still need to open and close 
the top cover. Doing this will remove the error message.

■

Paper jams could be due to the printer installation environment and type of paper used. For 
details on selecting the appropriate location to install the printer, see Safety Precautions on page 
-XIX. For details on selecting the correct type of paper, see Suitable and Unsuitable Paper 
Types on page 2-1.
