Understanding jam messages
When a jam occurs, the printer displays a two-line 2xx Paper Jam message and stops
operating. Although the location of the jam appears on the second line of the display,
you
must clear all paper from the entire paper path
.PressGo to clear the message and continue
printing.
See Paper path for an explanation about areas where you can access jams. Immediately
following Paper path see the illustrations of areas where you can access jams.
Note: If you have an optional finisher attached to your printer, the secondary
message Leave Staple Job in Finisher or Clear Staple Job from Finisher
alternates with the 2xx Paper Jam message.

Paper path
The paper path is the route paper travels as it makes its way from the selected paper source
through the printer and into the selected output bin. To clear the paper in the path, start at the
paper source the printer is using for the current job. Open all doors and covers between the
source and the selected output bin. If you are not sure which source the printer is using, start
withtray5,ifinstalled;otherwise,startwithtray2.
See the following illustrations for a better understanding of the path the paper travels through
the printer and its options. The jam numbers are listed based on location within the paper
path.
The doors and covers that give you access to paper in the path when a jam occurs are
labeled on the Message maps.

5Remove the paper based on what part is visible.
–If the paper is visible, pull it straight out and continue with step 9 on page 22.
–If the paper is not visible or there is not enough showing to grasp easily, it is still in
the tray. Complete step 6 on page 21 through step 9 on page 22.
–If the paper is not visible in the tray, the paper is lodged behind the tray and
requires that you remove the tray. See Behindtrays1,2,and3.
