Abstract
A thermal type image forming apparatus has a rotating cam which moves a thermal print head to a contact location. The rotating cam moves the thermal print head to contact locations so that the thermal print head contacts a platen roller at a first open location where the thermal print head is a first gap apart from the platen roller, and a second open location where the thermal print head is apart from the platen roller by a second gap which is greater than the first gap. In a method for removing jammed medium using the thermal type image forming apparatus, the thermal print head is placed at the first open location, and a transfer unit is driven to remove the jammed medium. If the removal of the jammed medium fails, the thermal print head is placed at the second open location.
