Cause and Solution
Remove the paper following the procedure below.
(1) Slowly pull the paper out, either from the paper source or from the paper output slot, whichever is easier.

- If the paper tears and a piece remains inside the machine, open the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover) and remove it. After removing all paper, close the Scanning Unit (Printer Cover), turn the machine off, and turn it back on.
* Be careful not to touch the components inside the machine.
- If you cannot pull the paper out, turn the machine off and turn it back on. The paper will be ejected automatically.
(2) Reload the paper in the machine, and press the OK button on the machine.
If you turned off the machine in step 1, all print jobs in queue are canceled. Reprint if necessary.
