5. If the paper is not advancing normally upon rotating the brass gear clockwise [see

 Figure 2 (ii)

]:

a.  Push the Paper Release mechanism with your right thumb, reach behind the Printer, and 

grasp the paper where it enters the Printer.

b.  Gently pull the paper out from the back of the Printer.
c.  Tear off the jammed paper.

6. Reload the paper.

Paper jam should be cleared.

II. Removing Paper Jams That Require Opening Printer Assembly

After performing the steps mentioned in 

“Removing Simple Paper Jams”

, if the Printer still 

appears to be jammed (for example, paper does not reload, further jams immediately occur, 
and so on), the Printer Assembly has to be opened to expose more of the paper path.

To remove paper jams that require opening the Printer Assembly, proceed as follows:

1. Pull a blue pin back slightly to rotate the Printer Head to expose the paper path 

(see 

Figure 3

). The Printer Head is held onto the Printer Slide by two blue pins.

2. Remove any newly exposed scraps of the paper jam.

3. Rotate the Printer Head back in place and push the blue pin forward to lock the Printer Head in 

place.

4. Reload the paper.

III. Removing Paper Jams That Require Opening Printer Head

Small scraps of paper lodged inside the Printer Head may cause recurring jams and are not 
easily removed. A qualified service technician can remove the Blade Holder (with blade 
attached) to expose this part of the paper path. There are Blade Holder Release Tabs. These 
tabs can be tedious to operate (for detailed animation of this procedure, refer to TRP-2387). 
This relatively simple procedure for a qualified technician may recover a Printer that would 
otherwise have to be replaced.

Clearing paper jams using screwdrivers and so on, that contact the blade edge will 
permanently damage the blade. The damaged sharp edge of the blade will cause further 
jams. If the blade appears to be damaged or dull, you can order new blades with holders 
[M04119A005 (10X)].

THE BLADE IS SHARP. Exercise care in contacting and handling.
