Clearing a Paper Jam The choices available are: PAUSE ENDDOC SUPPRESS ABANDON Temporarily stops the job. Use this to pause the printer, such as when adding or removing paper or adding toner. Any incomplete or partial pages are printed (like a form feed or page eject). The job ends normally and the printer is ready for another job. This is typically used when the print job has no end-of-job command, and the Control Panel displays Ready -- wait for a long time. Continues to process the current job, but the resulting pages are not printed. Printing resumes with the next job. Select SUPPRESS when you no longer want to print the current job, but you want to retain data, such as downloaded fonts and macros, needed for future jobs. SUPPRESS is the recommended way to end routine print jobs. Ends processing of the current job and clears all data in the input buffer. This is the most direct, quickest, and potentially risky way of stopping a current job. Use ABANDON only when you are certain that the data in the print job is not required by future print jobs. Clearing a Paper Jam When you start a print job, the printer selects paper, a page at a time, from one of the internal trays or from the external HCI. Paper jams may occur if the paper is wrinkled, folded, skewed, or out of specification. The printer goes Offline until the paper jam is cleared. When a jam occurs, refer to the Control Panel for a visual and written description of the jam location. For a visual indication refer to the picture on the right side of the Control Panel. The area in the paper path where the jam occurred will be blinking. More than one sheet of paper may be located in the paper path; all sheets must be removed before the printer will resume printing. In this case, the paper path diagram may continue blinking in the same or another location, and the printer displays messages about the location of remaining sheets until all jams are cleared. Note The printer is forced Offline until the problem is fixed. Table 3-3 lists each paper jam that displays on the Control Panel and how to clear the jam. More detailed information on clearing paper jams appears on the pages listed. You can also refer to the illustrated jam clearing pictures located on the inside of the printer's front door. 3-22 Printer Tasks
