ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for removing a jammed paper from an ink jet printer is aimed at an efficient removal of the jammed paper. When an operator pulls jammed paper to remove it the feed roller rotates in response to such a motion, and a sensing unit senses a rotational movement of the feed roller and activates a line feed motor, whereby the jammed paper is ejected. The operator has only to pull the jammed paper just a little so as to remove it from the ink jet printer, thereby permitting an efficient removal of the jammed paper and decreasing the chance of tearing of the jammed paper by pulling it too hard which may be a more serious problem than the paper jam itself.
