@frank0218 During printing, the printer stops, and the Attention light blinks. A blinking Attention light indicates that paper might be jammed inside the printer.

NOTE: 

Paper jams can be real or false. The printer might report a paper jam even when there is no jammed paper. The following steps apply to both real and false paper jams.
