Troubleshooting Printers
Network Printers
When experiencing a jam in one of the multifunction network printers, the on screen instructions will guide you through the process. See below for some common places to look for jams. If you clear a jam that is in a big job, then you will have to trace along the path before the jam and clear any paper sitting there.
