First off, if possible you want to pull the document in the normal direction of travel. Lift the main scanner lid and see if any of the document is visible from that side. If it is, gently tug on it to see if it will move. If not, close the lid, lift the cover on the ADF so that you can see the rollers. Lift up on the green handle until the ADF roller is facing up. On the side of the Roller mechanism facing the front you will see a spring. Remove the spring carefully, making a hook out of a paper clip is the easiest way to do this. Once the spring is released, lift the side that the spring was attached to upwards and pull towards you at the same time, the assembly will pull out of the machine. Next on the left hand side you will see a screw on the left side that holds the paper guide in place, remove this screw and then pull out the paper guide. There may be tape holding it in place as well. Once that is out of the way you should be able to work the paper out of the machine and also see if anything is jammed in the drive mechanism. Reassemble in reverse order once you have removed all traces of paper. You may also want to clean the pickup roller (the ones attached to the shaft) with a water dampened cloth before reassembly, this will ensure that the paper feeds properly.
