Page 130: Paper Jams
Paper Jams Locating Paper Jams Paper jams can occur in several locations along the print path. Refer to the diagram below to help you locate paper jams. Locate the area where the paper jam has occurred and follow the instructions for removing jams in that area.
Page 131: Before Removing Paper Jams Inside The Printer
Remove watches and any bracelets or rings when touching the inside of the printer. These items might be damaged if they come into contact with parts inside the printer. Remove the paper from the MP tray.
Page 132 Remove the EP-22 cartridge by grasping the cartridge’s handle and lifting it out of the printer. Do not expose the cartridge to light for more than 5 minutes. If necessary, put the cartridge in its original protective bag or wrap it with a thick cloth to prevent exposure to light.
Page 133 CAUTION: The face-up delivery area (shaded part) becomes hot when the printer is in use. Be careful not to touch this area, because personal injury might result. When removing the jammed paper, do not touch the transfer roller (shaded part) as its surface is very delicate and susceptible to ﬁnger oil and scratches, which may lead to print deterioration.
Page 134 To avoid possible damage to the printer, do not touch the pins near the right end of the transfer roller. To avoid damaging the printer, check that the pressure release levers (black) were released when the front cover was opened. If the pressure release levers were not released, close the front cover and then open it again.
Page 135: Removing Paper Jams
Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer. Paper Jam in the Paper Feed Area If only a small portion of the paper has moved into the printer Use both hands to carefully pull the jammed paper straight up and out from the MP tray.
Page 136 If the paper has moved completely into the printer Follow the steps described in “Before Removing Paper Jams Inside the Printer” on page 116 to remove the toner cartridge, then follow the procedure below. Remove any paper from the input area by gently pulling it forward.
Page 137 Do not remove jammed paper at a sharp upwards angle; the toner on the paper will stain the printer and cause a permanent reduction in print quality. Replace the cartridge and close the front cover. The paper release levers automatically return to their original positions.

Page 139 Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer. Follow the steps described in “Before Removing Paper Jams Inside the Printer” on page 116 to remove the toner cartridge, then follow the procedure below. Gently pull the jammed paper between the face-down delivery rollers until the leading edge emerges from the printer.
Page 140 Never pull the paper out of the printer by pulling it forwards if the paper is behind the face-down delivery rollers. This could result in damage to the face-down delivery rollers. Paper Jam in the Face-up Delivery Area Please use both hands to remove jammed paper from the printer.
Page 141 While holding the printer steady, carefully pull the jammed paper out straight and horizontally. If the jammed paper is badly folded, similar to the folds of an accordion, ease the jammed paper loose and then pull it out of the printer. Troubleshooting Chapter 4...
Page 142 If this occurs, follow the procedure below to remove the paper. If the paper does not come out of the printer easily, check that the pressure release levers (black) have been released as described on page 119.
Page 143 Gently pull the paper through the rollers. ❏ After you replace the cartridge and close the front cover, the printer should be ready for printing. If the printer returns to the ready state for printing, troubleshooting has been successful. If the printer does not return to the ready state for printing, paper may still be jammed in the printer.
