Clearing Paper Jams

If a paper jam occurs, a screen indicating the location of the paper jam and how to clear the jam appears on the touch panel display. Follow the instructions on the screen to clear the paper jam. The screen is displayed repeatedly until the paper jam is cleared. If you press [Close], you can continue operations, such as setting modes or scanning originals, even if the jammed paper is not removed immediately.

WARNING
Some areas inside the machine are subject to high-voltages. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not allow necklaces, bracelets, or other metal objects to touch the inside of the machine, as this may result in burns or electrical shock.
CAUTION
When removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the originals or paper. If you cannot remove the paper, contact your local authorized Canon dealer.
When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care not to allow the toner on the jammed paper to come into contact with your hands or clothing, as this will dirty your hands or clothing. If they become dirty, wash them immediately with cold water. Washing them with warm water will set the toner, and make it impossible to remove the toner stains.
When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, remove the jammed paper gently to prevent the toner on the paper from scattering and getting into your eyes or mouth. If the toner gets into your eyes or mouth, wash them immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
The fixing assembly and its surroundings inside the machine may become hot during use. When removing jammed paper or when inspecting the inside of the machine, do not touch the fixing assembly and its surroundings, as doing so may result in burns or electrical shock.
After clearing all paper jams, remove your hands from the machine immediately. Even if the machine is not in operation, your hands, hair, or clothing may get caught in the feed rollers, which could result in personal injury or damage if the machine suddenly starts printing.
IMPORTANT
If a paper jam occurs in the feeder, you cannot continue operating the machine. Follow the directions on the touch panel display to clear the paper jam. (See "Feeder.")
Some areas that are shown to have paper jams may not actually have paper jams. However, always check all locations indicated on the touch panel display in the order that is given.
After you have cleared all the paper jams, make sure to return all the covers to their original positions. Once you have removed all of the jammed paper, printing resumes.
NOTE
If paper is jammed in several locations, remove the jammed paper in the order indicated on the touch panel display.
When all the paper jams are cleared, the machine automatically recalculates the number of copies or prints to make. You do not need to re-enter the number of copies or prints, even if you are printing multiple sets.
