Clearing Paper Jams
If paper is jammed inside the machine, a screen such as shown below appears on the touch panel display. Use this screen to immediately locate and clear the paper jam.

There are some areas inside the machine which 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.

When removing jammed originals or paper, take care not to cut your hands on the edges of the original or paper.
When removing paper which has become jammed inside the machine, take care not to cut your hands or injure yourself on the parts on the inside of the machine. If you cannot remove the paper, please 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 immediately with cold water. Washing with warm water may 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 immediately with cold water and immediately consult a physician.
The fixing unit 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 unit and its surroundings, as this 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
|
|
After you have cleared all the paper jams, make sure to return all the levers and covers to their original positions. Once you have removed all of the jammed paper, printing resumes.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
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.
|
Locating Paper Jams
When paper is jammed inside the machine, the machine detects the jammed paper and displays where you can find it. Approximate locations of the jammed paper are indicated with dots on the machine’s image. Check for all paper jam locations on the touch panel display and see the appropriate pages below for instructions on how to remove jammed paper.
|
IMPORTANT
|
|
Do not turn the machine OFF before clearing all paper jams. If the machine is turned OFF with the jammed paper left inside, the machine may not detect the jammed paper after the machine is turned back ON.
|
|
NOTE
|
|
Jammed paper may not actually be found in the indicated areas. In this case, check other locations and then close all the open covers.
