  2. Clear jam: Open the access door and gently remove any paper pieces.
  3. Clean rollers: Use a lint-free, slightly damp cloth to wipe the pickup rollers.
  4. Reset: Press the 'Cancel' button to resume printing.

Prevención y mantenimiento

Avoid using creased or damp paper. Keep the machine in a clean area to prevent dust buildup on paper sensors.
