  1. Press printer's Stop button.

  2. Turn off printer and unplug it.

  3. Open scanning unit / cover.

    Important

    • Do not touch the clear film (A) and white belt (B).

      If you soil or scratch this part by touching it with paper or your hand, it could damage the printer.

  4. Check if jammed paper is under FINE cartridge holder.

    If the jammed paper is under the FINE cartridge holder, move the FINE cartridge holder to the far right or left, whichever makes it easier to remove the paper.

    When moving the FINE cartridge holder, hold the FINE cartridge holder and slide it slowly to the far right or left.

  5. Hold jammed paper firmly with both hands.

    If the paper is rolled up, pull it out and grasp the edges of the paper.

  6. Slowly pull out jammed paper so as not to tear it.

    Pull out the paper at an angle of about 45 degrees.

  7. Make sure all jammed paper is removed.

    If the paper tears when you pull out it, a bit of paper may remain in the printer. Check the following and remove any remaining paper.

    • Any paper left under the FINE cartridge holder?
    • Any small bits of paper left in the printer?
    • Any paper left in the left and right empty spaces (C) in the printer?
