Removing Paper Jam

When clearing mishandled paper, heed the following precautions:

This section describes precautions you should take when clearing a paper jam.
Before performing the clearing procedure, be sure to check these precautions.

  • Do not turn off the main power switch or sub power switch while removing mishandled paper. Otherwise, the trays or conveyance fusing unit cannot be withdrawn.

  • If mishandled paper is left in the feeding inlet/outlet of the main body, the lever [M4] cannot be turned down rightward to draw out the conveyance fusing unit. Never turn down the lever [M4] forcibly.

  • When removing mishandled paper, be sure to leave no torn paper inside the machine.

  • If a paper jam occurs, do not open a door or tray other than the specified location. When a paper jam occurs, paper is automatically output from another tray; however, if you open a door or tray other than the specified location, paper is not output.

  • With the conveyance fusing unit pulled out, your hand may touch the drum surface if you put your hand as shown in the figure. Do not touch the drum surface, as it may be damaged.

  • When removing paper jammed in the fusing unit, be careful of the removal direction.

  • When attempting to pull out the stacker of Finisher FS-532 to clear paper jams, you may not be able to do so because it is locked.

  • Also, when attempting to return the pulled-out stacker to the original position, you may not be able to do so because it is locked.

  • In either case, turn Knob [FS8] of the stacker. It will release the lock to allow for subsequent operations.
