For some residual paper jams (for example, where a jam exists in the delivery
area at time of startup), the printer may exhibit a ready state to the point where
the fan will come on and the paper for the startup page is picked up.

If this array is preceded by the following behavior, the problem is likely with
the fuser assembly: ready LED comes on; ready LED flashes; fan comes on; and
paper for startup page is picked up but jams in the printer.

If the ready LED flashes forever, turn off the printer, disconnect it from the
network, and restart the printer. If the flashing does not recur, the problem
is most likely with networking or host computer software. If the flashing occurs
with a stand-alone printer, a faulty fan may be the problem.
