Paper jams

For a sheet paper jam, turn the printer off, open the printer cover, remove all of the paper inside including any torn pieces, close the printer cover, turn the printer on, and then reload the paper in the sheet feeder.

For a roll paper jam, hold down the  roll paper button for about 3 seconds to feed the paper in reverse, hold down the  roll paper button for about 3 seconds to feed the paper in reverse again, and then roll up the then roll paper.

If the error does not clear, turn the printer off, open the printer cover, gently remove the roll paper backward, and then close the printer cover.

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

Paper does not feed correctly when using the double-sided printing feature

If multiple pages are simultaneously misfed into the printer when using the double-sided printing feature, remove the paper as instructed in Multiple pages feed. If the paper that was fed in error has not been creased or wrinkled, it may still be usable. Reload only the usable paper properly into the printer.

If a paper jam should occur while using the double-sided printing feature, remove the paper as instructed in Paper jams. If multiple print jobs have been sent to the printer when the paper jam occurs, check the page settings in your application and confirm that the paper is loaded properly to ensure that no pages are skipped and that the document is printed correctly.
