TOPIC

    This article describes how to clear paper jams on a Color StyleWriter 4100 or 4500 printer.


DISCUSSION

    On a Color StyleWriter 4100 or 4500, the paper jam error state occurs if the printer detects paper at the platen after attempting to eject paper to the OUT tray. The Power and Resume lights alternately blink to indicate this condition.

    NOTE: The Power and Resume lights alternately blink to indicate several other conditions as well, such as a carriage stall. Make sure this condition is caused by a paper jam before using the method below.

    CAUTION : Do NOT pull paper out by force. Doing so could damage the printer. Clear paper jams by feeding paper through the paper path, as follows:

    1. With the printer on, open the printer's access door and press the Resume button repeatedly. This causes the drive rollers to move the paper forward, one line at a time.

    2. When you have removed the paper, close the access door to print.
