2.Reload the paper, and press the OK button on the machine.

NOTE
- When reloading the paper, confirm that you are using the correct paper and are loading it correctly.

- A5 sized paper is suited to printing documents consisting mainly of text. We do not recommend using such paper to print documents with photos or graphics, since the printout may curl and cause paper exit jams.
If you cannot remove the paper or the paper tears inside the machine, or if the paper jam error continues after removing the paper, contact the service center.
Make sure of the following:
Check 1: Are there any foreign objects around the Paper Output Slot?
Check 2: Are there any foreign objects in the Rear Tray?
If you drop the foreign object into the Rear Tray, turn off the machine, then remove the foreign object.
Check 3: Is the paper curled?
If you press the Stop button during scanning, Document in ADF Press OK appears on the LCD. Press the OK button so that the remaining document is automatically fed out.

NOTE
- The document may not feed properly depending on the media type, or your environment, such as when the temperature and humidity are either too high or too low. In this case, reduce the number of document pages to approximately half of the loading capacity. If the document still jams, use the Platen Glass instead.
If the document is jammed in the Document Output Slot, open the Document Output Slot as shown in the figure below and pull out the document.
