Take the paper out, access as much of the paper path as possible and clean the path as much as possible with meths and clean cloth.
Make sure no traces of paper or other foreign objects are in the paper path.
Do not overload the paper tray with paper.

Try and part dismantle to clean is about all you can do.
If you can't effect a clean and it keeps jamming you may have to bite the bullet and buy a new printer.
Epson/HP/Canon/Brother/Samsung all respectable, avoid Lexmark.

Looked it up and it's a Brother Laser printer up to 8 years old.
With laser printers part of the paper path is the toner cartridge itself so replacing that may help but if you're sure the area where the jam occurs is elsewhere then don't bother.
There is also another replacement part for Brother laser printers, the name escapes me.
I had a Brother 2030 laser mono printer for five years and that part I refer to wore out and the cost of replacement made it more economical to buy a new printer.
If you'd had the printer 8 years - or even 5 years - you've done well so don't feel too bad if you have to buy a replacement.
