    • If the paper jam was corrected during step 1, the red light should have turned off, leaving only a green light.

    • If steps 2 or 3 corrected the problem, you will need to press the red button again.

    • This may cause another sheet of paper to be pulled through. Do not be alarmed.

    • This should cause the red light to go out.
