Clearing paper jams

To clear a paper jam:

1

Remove any paper stacked in the top output bin.

Do not pull jammed paper out of the paper exit
area. To protect your printer, remove the jammed
paper from inside the printer, as explained in the
following steps.

Warning!

If you do not com-

pletely open the top cover, you
may damage the fuser as you try
to remove jammed paper.

2

Press the release button on the printer’s top cover
and open the cover completely.

Push the cover open until it stops. It should rest in a
near vertical position. Opening the top cover all the
way releases the fuser roll so you can easily remove
jammed paper.

3

Lift each of the four print units straight out of the
printer and set the print units on a level surface.

Do not expose the print units to light for more than
10 minutes. If you anticipate it will take more time
to clear the jam, cover the print units to protect them
from light.
