Removing and Preventing Media Jams
The front panel message indicates the jam location and information on how to clear the jam. To prevent jams, use the recommended
media (see page 5) and occasionally clean the printer’s rollers.

Solution
If the media has partially exited the printer at the exit slot, follow these
steps. Otherwise, refer to the solution on page 20.
1 Using both hands, remove the jammed media.

may cause more jams.

Prevention: Clean the exit rollers
■ Use a pre-soaked alcohol cloth to clean the exit rollers. Use the blue
thumbwheel to turn the rollers.
■ Use a dry swab to wipe oil and ink from the blue exit fingers.
Use isopropyl alcohol that is at least 90% pure; alcohol that
has additives can damage the printer.
For complete cleaning instructions, refer to the online topic
“Cleaning the printer” on the printer’s CD-ROM or web site.
