5.1 Clearing Paper Jams
In order to clear a paper jam, detach the document that is already present in the eject chute and retract the
remaining paper manually. Paper scraps remaining in the area between the print mechanism and eject chute can
be removed after the printer is tilted open.
Fig. 5 Open paper path for removing paper
In case there is still paper between the printhead and the
platen, remove the friction between head and platen by
pressing down the lever and then pull the paper back by
hand.
Never actuate this lever during the printing
operation or else the printhead will overheat.
Fig. 6 Tilt the printer mechanism open for paper removal
If a partly printed document remains in the printer
mechanism, e.g. in the event of a paper end signal due to
a tear, and it does not appear in the eject chute, the
printer mechanism will have to be tilted open and the
document be taken out by hand. Note that additional care
must be taken concerning wire routing if the optional
chute sensor or hardware paper-low sensor are installed.
1.
Pull the hinge pin back into its tilt position.
2.
Then tilt the printer open as illustrated. Now, the
partially printed document will be visible and can be
pulled out over the eject chute.
3.
Eject the document by twisting the motor pinion gear
clockwise until the document leaves the friction area
of the platen.
4.
Remove the partially printed document. Then again tilt
the printer mechanism back into its operating position
and secure it by snapping the hinge pin into its
operating position.
