							Clearing Media Misfeeds
To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. Any pieces of media left in
the printer, whether large or small, can obstruct the media path and cause further misfeeds. Do not
reload media that has misfed.
Note:
The image is not fixed on the media before the fusing process. If you touch the printed surface, the toner
may stick to your hands, so be careful not to touch the print face when removing the misfed media. Make
sure not to spill any toner inside the printer.
c
Caution:
❏Unfused toner can mess your hands, clothes, or anything else it gets on.
If you accidentally get toner on your clothes, lightly dust them off as best as you can. If some
toner remains on your clothes, use cool, not hot water, to rinse the toner off. If toner gets on
your skin, wash it off with cool water and a mild soap.
❏If you get toner in your eyes, wash it out immediately with cool water and consult a doctor.
If, after clearing the media misfeed, the misfeed message in the control panel persists, open and close
the printer’s covers. This should clear the misfeed message.
Clearing Procedures
1. Open the top cover.
Note:
If there is paper in the output tray, remove it, and then fold up the output tray before opening the top
cover.

							2. Grab the handle and lift it up slightly to the back, and then slowly pull the photoconductor unit out
vertically.
Note:
❏Do not touch the PC drum on the photoconductor unit.
❏Position the removed photoconductor unit horizontally as shown in the illustration below.
Be sure to keep the photoconductor unit horizontal and place it where it will not become dirty.
Do not leave the photoconductor unit removed for more than 15 minutes, and do not place the
removed photoconductor unit in a location where it would be exposed to direct light (such as
sunlight).

Solving Problems with Media Misfeeds
Note:
Frequent misfeeds in any area indicate that area should be checked, repaired, or cleaned. Repeated
misfeeds may also happen if you’re using unsupported print media.
Symptom Cause Solution
Several sheets go
through the
printer together.The front edges of the media are
not even.Remove the media and even up the front edges, then reload
it.
The media is moist from
humidity.Remove the moist media and replace it with new, dry media.
Media misfeed
message stays on.Some media remains misfed in
the printer.Recheck the media path and make sure that you have
removed all of the misfed media.
