Typical Causes of Paper Jams The most common causes of paper jams are: v Paper is not loaded correctly. v The print media does not conform to specifications. v The paper guides are not adjusted for the current paper size. v The paper is wrinkled or curled. v The printer is not placed on a level surface. Handling Precautions When removing jammed paper, make sure that no paper scraps or paper dust remain in the printer. Paper remnants in the printer can become a fire hazard. If paper cannot be removed or is tightly wound around the fuser or a roller, do not try to remove it by force. Contact your dealer or an authorized service representative. A high-temperature warning label is affixed to the fuser and its peripheral parts to indicate that these parts should not be touched. Please do not remove this label. Notes: 1. Do not try to remove paper by force. If paper is hard to see, hard to grasp, or wrapped tightly around a component, contact your dealer or an authorized service representative. 2. To prevent tearing the paper, remove jammed paper slowly and carefully. Always remove paper in the direction it flows through the printer. Procedures The following sections describe how to clear paper jams from different parts of the printer. When the printer detects a jam, it displays a message. Note, however, that when paper gets jammed in one area of the paper path, it often gets jammed in other areas. Therefore it is a good idea to check the entire paper path whenever you see a paper jam message. Clearing Exit Area Jams Before performing this procedure, see "Typical Causes of Paper Jams" and "Handling Precautions". 74 Infoprint 32 and Infoprint 40: User's Guide
