Questions and answers
PAPER IS JAMMED AND i HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REMOVE
To remove a paper jam from the Canon TR4700 Series printer, follow these steps:
1. Check the Paper Output Slot
- If the jammed paper is visible in the paper output slot, hold it firmly with both hands and pull it out slowly to avoid tearing.
- If you cannot remove the paper, turn the printer back on and see if it ejects automatically.
2. Check the Feed Slot of the Front Tray
- Raise the paper output tray and remove any loose paper from the front tray.
- If the jammed paper is visible in the feed slot, hold it with both hands and pull it out slowly.
3. Remove Paper from Inside the Printer
- If the paper is not visible in the output slot or feed slot, check inside the printer for any jammed paper.
4. Remove Paper from the Rear Side
- If the paper cannot be pulled out or is torn, open the printer’s rear cover and remove the jammed paper from the rear side.
5. Reload Paper
- Once the jam is cleared, reload paper in the front tray and ensure it is correctly loaded to prevent future jams.
- Avoid using A5 paper for printing photos or graphics, as it may curl and cause jams.
If the issue persists, check for any remaining bits of paper inside the printer.
