How does a paper jam relate to the Canon printer Code 6000 error, and what should be done?

Even small, torn pieces of paper or crumpled paper in the feed path can trigger Code 6000, as the printer's sensors detect an anomaly preventing smooth operation. To address this, thoroughly inspect all paper pathways, including the front tray, rear tray, and duplex unit (if applicable), for any remnants. Gently pull out any visible paper or debris, ensuring no pieces are left behind.
