Clearing jams 97
Clearing jams from the top-cover and
print-cartridge areas
Clear paper jams that occur during the printing process using this
procedure.
To clear jams from the top-cover and print-cartridge
areas
1
Open the top cover and remove the print cartridge.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the print cartridge, do not expose it to light for
more than a few minutes.
2
Use the green handle to lift the paper-access plate.
3
Slowly pull the jammed paper out of the printer. Do not tear the
paper. If paper is difficult to remove, try clearing it from the tray
area. (See
“Clearing jams from the trays” on page 100
Note
Avoid spilling loose toner. Using a dry, lint-free cloth, clean any loose
toner that might have fallen into the printer. If loose toner falls into the
printer, it might cause temporary problems with print quality. Loose
toner should clear from the printer after a few pages are printed.
If toner gets on your clothing, wipe it off with a dry cloth and wash
clothing in cold water. (Hot water sets toner into fabric.)
4
Open tray 1 and remove the entrance cover. If paper is present,
remove it.
5
Rotate the paper guide to check for additional jammed paper
underneath. If jammed paper is present, remove it.
