This section describes precautions you should take when clearing a paper jam.

  • Do not turn off the main power switch or sub power switch while removing mishandled paper. Otherwise, the trays or conveyance fusing unit cannot be withdrawn.

  • If mishandled paper is left in the feeding inlet/outlet of the main body, the lever [M1] cannot be turned down rightward to draw out the conveyance fusing unit. Never turn down the lever [M1] forcibly.

  • When removing mishandled paper, be sure to leave no torn paper inside the machine.

  • When attempting to pull out the stacker of Finisher FS-532 to clear paper jams, you may not be able to do so because it is locked.

  • Also, when attempting to return the pulled-out stacker to the original position, you may not be able to do so because it is locked.

  • In either case, turn knob [FS8] of the stacker. It will release the lock to allow for subsequent operations.
