B
Clearing the Paper Jam: The error message explicitly points to a paper jam in the fuser area of the printer. The first and most direct action is to inspect the printer's paper path, particularly around the fuser, to find and remove any jammed paper or obstructions.
Simple and Immediate Action: Checking for and clearing a paper jam is a relatively simple task that can often quickly resolve the issue without the need for more complex troubleshooting or repairs.
