Paper Jam

When a paper jam occurs, the Function Number Display of the scanner's operator panel alternates between the following letter and number to indicate the error code.

"J" and "1"

 

Remove the document left inside the scanner in the following procedure.


CAUTION:
  • Be careful of injuries upon removing jammed documents.
  • Be careful not to get your accessories (e.g. tie, necklace) caught inside the scanner upon removing jammed documents.
  • Be careful of burns as the glass and the guides may become extremely hot during operation.
  • Always open the ADF before removing the document.

  1. Remove all documents from the ADF paper chute.
  2. Pull the ADF release tab towards you to open the ADF.

    CAUTION: Be careful not to have your fingers caught when the ADF closes.

  3. Remove the jammed document.

    CAUTION:
    • Make sure to check the documents and the paper path thoroughly and remove all staples and paper clips as they may cause paper jams.
    • Be careful not to damage the glass surface and the guides when removing documents with staples or paper clips.

  4. Close the ADF.
    Push the center of the ADF until it locks in place.

    CAUTION:
    • Confirm that the ADF is closed properly. Otherwise, the documents may not be fed through the ADF.
    • Occasionally when scanning is complete or canceled, documents may remain in the ADF without any error message displayed. In that case, remove the documents by following the above steps 1 to 4.

The procedure can be viewed on the icon-movieVideo.
