Solution

Paper jams

Did the jam occur in the paper support?

Have the All-In-One automatically eject the paper:

  1. Press to turn the printer off.
  2. Press to turn the All-In-One back on. The paper ejects from the All-In-One.

Did the All-In-One eject the jammed paper after you tried the solution above?

If the All-In-One does not eject the paper, manually remove the paper:

  1. Lift the scanner unit open, firmly grasp the paper, and gently pull it from the All-In-One.
  2. Press to continue.
