Notes for Clearing Paper Jams
This section describes points to keep in mind when clearing paper jams. Be sure to read this section before attempting to clear a paper jam.
- Do not turn the Main power switch or Sub power switch off when clearing paper jams. Doing so will make it difficult to pull the tray out or Conveyance fixing unit.
- Lever [M1] which pulls out Conveyance fixing unit tilts to the right and cannot pull out Conveyance fixing unit if there is a jam in the machine paper feed inlet or output section. Do not under any circumstances forcefully try to tilt Lever [M1].
- Exercise care not to tear the paper or leave scraps of paper in the machine when clearing the jam.
- When attempting to pull out the Stacker of the Finisher FS-541 in order to clear a paper jam, it may be locked and you are unable to pull it out.
- There may also be occasions when you try to return the pulled out Stacker, it may be locked and cannot be returned to its original position.
- In either case, rotate the Knob [FS8] of Stacker. This unlocks the stacker and allow you to operate it again.
