# Clearing a Paper Jam

Follow these steps to clear a paper jam:
Caution:

Do not touch the white cable inside the printer.

| Turn off the printer.

| If a single-sheet of paper is stuck on the paper guide, gently remove it.

| Remove the printer cover. If you are loading continuous paper from the rear slot, remove the paper guide.

| If continuous paper is jammed in the printer, tear off the fresh supply at the perforation nearest the paper entry slot.

| Turn the knob on the right side of the printer away from you to eject the paper in the printer. Remove any remaining pieces of paper.

Caution:

Use the knob on the right side of the printer only to clear paper jams when the printer is off. Otherwise, you may damage the printer or lose the top-of-form or tear-off position.

| Replace the paper guide if necessary, and replace the printer cover. Then close the paper guide cover.

| Turn on the printer. Make sure the Paper Out and Pause lights are off.
