    Important

    • Do not touch the clear film (A), white belt (B), or tubes (C).

      If you soil or scratch this part by touching it with paper or your hand, it could damage the printer.

    1. If the jammed paper is under the print head holder, move the print head holder to the far right or left, whichever makes it easier to remove the paper.

      When moving the print head holder, hold the print head holder and slide it slowly to the far right or left.

    2. Hold jammed paper firmly.

      If the paper is rolled up, pull it out and grasp the edges of the paper.

    3. Slowly pull out jammed paper so as not to tear it.

      Pull out the paper at an angle of about 45 degrees.

    4. Make sure all jammed paper is removed.

      If the paper tears when you pull out it, a bit of paper may remain in the printer. Check the following and remove any remaining paper.

      • Any paper left under the print head holder?
      • Any small bits of paper left in the printer?
      • Any paper left in the left and right empty spaces (D) in the printer?
