•
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.

When Paper Jams Occur Frequently

If paper jams occur frequently, even though there is no apparent problem with the
machine, either one of the following two reasons may be the cause. Follow the
instructions described below to reduce the frequency of paper jams.
■ There are torn pieces of paper left inside the machine.
Pulling jammed paper out of the machine by force may leave parts of the paper torn
inside, leading to frequent paper jams. If paper tears while you are trying to remove
jammed paper from the machine, make sure that you remove all of the torn pieces.
■ The paper size detecting lever is set incorrectly.
Make sure that the paper size detecting lever located on the left side of a paper drawer
matches the size of the paper loaded in the paper drawer. If the paper size detecting lever
is set incorrectly, paper jams may occur more frequently. See Chapter 6, "Routine
Maintenance," in the Reference Guide.
