Paper is jammed during automatic duplex printing.

What to Do

If the paper is jammed when performing automatic duplex printing, remove the paper by following these steps.

Note

  • If paper becomes jammed during printing and you need to turn off the machine to remove it, press the Stop button to stop the printing before you turn off the machine.

  1. Pull out paper slowly from paper output slot.

    Hold the paper with both hands, and pull it out slowly so as not to tear it.
