Paper Jam Error Message Troubleshooting Tips
Mostly jams on these models show up if your paper fails to get out of the paper tray. In this article we’re dealing with a machine that is the ready state and when you go to print you get a paper jam message without the paper leaving the tray. In another post I will target paper jam messages which do not clear.
Paper Stop
1. The paper stop in the back of the tray is pushed to far forward. Many times when the feed rollers start to wear, customers decide 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
Extract the paper from the cassette tray and make sure the mark on the paper stop is aligned with the mark on the tray.
Paper
2. In some cases 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 may cause the tray to improperly raise and the end result is intermittent annoying jams.
Solution
Extract the paper, remove damaged paper, reinstall the paper once you have shuffled it and made sure its piled nice and pretty.
Worn Roller
3. These pieces of equipment commonly make two tries to pick up the paper. At that time they will throw the paper jam error code. Typically you can hear it as it attempts. Also, on many 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. As time passes the tread wears down and it has troubles 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
Upgrade the feed roller and usually the separation pad.
