Paper Jam Error Message Troubleshooting Tips
Usually jams on these units show up once the paper fails to get out of the paper tray. In the following paragraphs we are discussing a machine that is the ready state and when you go to print you receive a paper jam message with no paper coming out of the tray. In another article I will concentrate on paper jam messages which doesn’t clear.
Paper Stop
1. The paper stop in the back of the tray is pushed to far forward. Regularly when the feed rollers start to wear, customers want to push that back stop forward. The paper requires a little room in front when the tray lifts. If the stop is to far forward when the tray lifts it puts the paper in a bind and the roller has even a harder time trying to pick up the paper and push it through. Obviously having the stop to far back will have a similar situation as the paper will be to far back in the tray and pick up roller will have issues grabbing the paper.
Solution
Take out the paper from the cassette tray and make sure the mark on the paper stop is lined up with the mark on the tray.
Paper
2. Sometimes when people load paper they don’t pay attention and the sheet on the bottom gets curled up against the front of the tray. This will cause the tray to improperly raise and the end result is intermittent annoying jams.
Solution
Take out the paper, remove damaged paper, reinstall the paper when you have shuffled it and made sure its stacked nice and pretty.
Worn Roller
3. These units usually make two tries to pick up the paper. And then they will throw the paper jam error code. Usually you can hear it as it tries. Also, on most machines you can use a flashlight via the back of the machine and monitor as the pick up roller functions. Like car tires the rollers have tread on them. In time the tread wears down and it has complications picking up the paper. If you remove the pick up roller it tends to be easy to identify wear the feed roller is worn down.
Solution
Upgrade the feed roller and usually the separation pad.
