Clearing jams
If a jam message appears on the printer control panel display, look for jammed paper or other
print media in the locations indicated in the figure below. Then see the procedure for clearing the
jam. You might need to look for paper in other locations than indicated in the jam message. If the
location of the jam is not obvious, look first in the top-cover area underneath the print cartridge.
When clearing jams, be very careful not to tear jammed paper. If a small piece of paper is left in
the printer, it could cause additional jams. If paper jams are a recurring problem, see
“Solving
repeated paper jams” on page 108 .
Note After you have cleared the jammed paper, you must open and then close the top cover to clear
a jam message.
