Paper Jam Error Message Troubleshooting Tips
Normally jams on these models happen if your paper does not get out of the paper tray. On this page we are dealing with a machine that is the ready state and when you go to print you receive a paper jam message with no paper getting out of the tray. In another article I will focus 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. Often times when the feed rollers start to wear, customers want to push that back stop forward. The paper needs 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
Remove the paper from the cassette tray and make sure the mark on the paper stop is aligned correctly with the mark on the tray.
Paper
2. Occasionally 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 elevate and the end result is intermittent annoying jams.
Solution
Remove the paper, remove damaged paper, reinstall the paper once you’ve shuffled it and made sure its piled nice and pretty.
Worn Roller
3. These products normally make two tries to pick up the paper. And then they’ll throw the paper jam error code. Commonly you can hear it as it tries. Also, on most machines you may use a flashlight from the back of the machine and observe as the pick up roller functions. Like car tires the rollers have tread on them. Eventually the tread wears down and it has difficulties picking up the paper. If you remove the pick up roller it tends to be easy to identify wear the feed roller is worn out.
Solution
Swap out the feed roller and in most cases the separation pad.
