Paper Jams
Your printer has been designed to provide reliable, trouble- free
operation. Nonetheless, you may experience an occasional paper jam.
When the printer detects a misfeed or a paper jam, the printing process
is halted, and a Control Panel message is displayed. See “Control Panel
Messages” (page 6-15).
After the paper jam has been cleared, the printer will resume operation
to complete the print job, reprinting the page that jammed.
