PAPER JAMMED-PRINTER HL5150D

Hello a_bowen1


You can clear the jammed paper as follows.

If the jammed paper is removed completely by using the information in the following steps, you can install the paper tray first, and then close the front cover and the printer will resume printing automatically.

If the printer does not start printing automatically, press the Go button. If the printer still does not start printing, please check that all the remaining jammed paper has been removed from the printer. Then try printing again.
Note

• If a paper jam occurs when using the optional lower tray unit, check for correct installation of the upper paper tray.
