The printout did not appear
Cause: The paper jammed while printing.
Solution: Try the following steps to clear the paper jam:
•
If the paper came part way through the front of the printer, gently pull the paper
towards you to remove it.
• If the paper did not come part way through the front of the printer, try removing it
from the back of the printer:
•
Remove the paper from the input tray, then gently pull down on the input tray
until it pops open more fully. Do not attempt to extend it to a full horizontal
position. Doing so could damage the printer.
• Gently pull the jammed paper to remove it from the back of the printer.
• Lift the input tray up until it snaps back into paper-loading position.
