It is generally not advisable to force-remove paper, as this can damage the printer's internal mechanisms, especially the feed rollers or gears. Always try to pull the paper gently and steadily. If a piece tears and you cannot retrieve it easily, consult your manual or contact Canon support to avoid further damage.
