Clearing Paper Jams 
To avoid damage, always remove misfed media gently, without tearing it. 
Any
 piece 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 printed face when removing the misfed media. 
Make sure not to spill any toner inside the printer. 
WARNING!
Unfused toner can dirty 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.
WARNING!
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 
window persists, open and close the printer’s top cover. This should clear the 
misfeed message.

green fuser separator levers to the position for envelope printing, 
and then remove the paper. After removing the paper, set both 
green fuser separator levers to their original positions.
