### Paper is Jammed at the Back of the Machine

If the machine's control panel or the Status Monitor displays there is a jam in the back of the machine (Rear), do the following steps.

1. Leave the machine turned on for 10 minutes. This allows the internal fan to cool the extremely hot parts inside the machine.
2. Open the back cover.
3. Pull the blue tabs at the left and right sides toward you to release the fuser cover.
   WARNING
     HOT SURFACE

     The machine's internal parts will be extremely hot. Wait for the machine to cool down before touching them.

4. Use both hands to gently pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit.
5. Close the fuser cover. Make sure the blue tabs at the left and right sides lock into place.
6. Close the back cover until it locks in the closed position.
