Troubleshooting
Clearing Jammed Paper
If paper becomes jammed in the printer, the printer’s LCD panel 
and EPSON Status Monitor provide alert messages.
Precautions for clearing jammed paper
Be sure to observe the following points when you clear jammed 
paper.
❏Do not remove jammed paper by force. Torn paper can be 
difficult to remove and might cause other paper jams. Pull it 
gently in order to avoid tearing.
❏Always try to remove jammed paper with both hands to avoid 
tearing it.
❏If jammed paper is torn and remains in the printer, or if paper 
is jammed in a place not mentioned in this section, contact 
your dealer.
❏Make sure that the paper type that is loaded is the same as the 
Paper Type setting in the printer driver.
