Clearing Paper Jams
To clear a paper jam, follow these steps:
1. Press the Operate button to turn off the printer.
2. If a single sheet of paper is stuck on the paper guide base,
gently remove it.
3. Remove the printer cover. If continuous paper from the rear
slot is loaded in the printer, remove the paper guide base.
4. If continuous paper is jammed in the printer, tear off the
supply at the perforation nearest the paper entry slot.
5. Turn the knob on the right side of the printer away from you
to eject the paper in the printer. Remove any remaining pieces
of paper.

Caution:
Use the knob on the right side of the printer to clear paper
jams only when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may
damage the printer or lose the top-of-form or tear-off position.
6. Replace the paper guide base if necessary, and replace the
printer cover. Then close the paper guide cover.
7. Press the Operate button to turn on the printer. Make sure the
Paper Out and Pause lights are off.
