Paper Jams in Crease and Two-Sided Trimmer


crease and two-sided trimmer control panel

When faults occur, such as a paper jam, open door or cover, or a printer malfunction, the following actions occur:

  • The printer stops printing and a fault message appears on the control panel.

  • The message includes an illustration that shows the fault location and provides corrective actions to clear the fault.

  • Paper jams can occur in multiple areas of the printer and any optional modules connected to the printer. When multiple jams occur, the illustration changes to show the multiple locations and the required corrective actions.

  • If a fault occurs in an optional module, an indicator on the module control panel illuminates. The indicator shows the area on the modules where the fault occurred.

When you clear paper jams, always refer to the following information:

  • When you remove paper jams, keep the printer powered on. When you power off the printer, all information stored to the system memory is erased.

  • Before you resume print jobs, clear all paper jams.

  • To minimize print defects, do not touch components inside the printer.

  • Before you resume the print jobs, ensure that you clear all paper jams, including any small, torn pieces of paper.

  • Gently, remove the torn paper. Ensure that you remove all torn paper pieces.

  • After you remove all paper jams, close all doors and covers. The printer cannot print when doors or covers are open.

  • After you clear a paper jam, printing automatically resumes from the state before the paper jam occurred.

  • If you do not clear all paper jams, an error message continues to appear on the control panel. To clear any remaining paper jams, refer to the control panel message for instructions and information.
