Clearing jams
JAM-A Tray, Rear (tray 1)
A JAM-A Tray, Rear message indicates the media is jammed in either tray 1 or tray 2. The affected tray is indicated by 
the Tray x message. Tray x could be the 250-sheet letter size tray or the optional 250-sheet legal size tray (Tray 1), or 
the optional 530-sheet tray (Tray 2).
1Pull the tray out. Remove the tray completely.
For a misfeed of the media, the single piece of media is laying on top of the stack. Pull it straight out.
For media jammed behind the tray area, locate the jam on the bottom surface of the tray housing. You may 
have to reach far under the printer to locate the jam, as shown in the following illustration. Pull the jam straight 
out.
2Insert the tray.
