3. Slowly pull the jammed media out of the MFP. Do not tear the media.

4. If jammed media is difficult to remove, open and remove the envelope-entrance cover. If

media is present, remove it.

5. Rotate the paper-release guide to check for additional jammed media underneath. If

jammed media is present, remove it.

6. Replace the envelope-entrance cover and close tray 1.

7. Reinstall the print cartridge and close the top cover.

8. If a jam message persists, jammed media is still in the MFP. Look for the jam in another

location.
