When the paper jam occurs, the following LED indications is shown on the control panel. The Error LED is flashing.

Please follow the steps below to solve the problem:

1. Open the front cover and leave the machine for at least 10 minutes to cool down.
   
   
   
   

   Caution

   • After you have just used the printer, some internal parts will be extremely hot. Wait at least 10 minutes for the machine to cool down.
   • To prevent any degradation to the print quality, DO NOT touch the shaded parts shown in the illustrations.
     
     
2. Slowly take out the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly. The jammed paper may be pulled out with the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly, or this may release the paper so you can pull it out of the paper tray opening.
   
   

   Caution

   • We recommend that you put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly on a piece of disposable paper or cloth in case you accidentally spill or scatter toner.
   • To prevent damage to the machine caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown in the illustration.

   Do not put the drum unit and toner cartridge assembly back in at this point.
