Brother International PocketJet 3 Quick Reference Card - English - Page 2

Inserting Paper 1. Use both hands to hold paper straight while you insert it into printer's paper input slot. Make sure bottom edge of paper is parallel to feed roller. Make sure the smooth, coated side of paper faces the back of the printer. 2. Press paper gently and evenly into printer's input slot until the roller pulls it into starting position, then let go. Clearing a Paper Jam Press and hold the main power switch to feed or eject paper. If this does not work: 1. Open the release cover as far back as it will go. See gure at right. 2. Gently pull the paper out of the printer. 3. Reset the printer by turning it OFF and back ON again. When you reset the printer, data is lost for the page that was printing when the jam occurred. The remaining pages will be printed. If necessary, reprint the page that jammed as a separate print job. If paper is skewed after the printer pulls it into starting position, do as follows: • If printer does not start to print immediately, open the release cover as far back as it will go. (See the gure below.) Pull the paper out and reinsert it. Close the cover. • If the printer does start to print, wait for the page to be printed and then reprint the page if necessary. TIP: If you insert paper before you start a print job, you will have time to adjust the paper if it is skewed after printer pulls it into starting position.
