I cannot fix my paper jam. It says to open the back cover and remove it.

To remove a paper jam from the exit rollers of a printer, you'll typically need to access the jammed area by opening the printer's covers. Keep in mind that the process can vary depending on the printer model and brand. Here are general steps you can follow to remove the cover and access the exit rollers:

1. Power Off the Printer: Before attempting to remove any jams or open the printer covers, make sure to turn off the printer and unplug it from the power source to avoid any risk of electrical shock.
2. Open the Printer's Top Cover: Most printers have a top cover that can be easily lifted to access the internal components. Look for a latch or release button on the printer's top cover and gently lift it up to open.
3. Locate the Jammed Paper: Once the top cover is open, carefully inspect the printer's internal area, especially around the exit rollers, for any visible jammed paper. If you find the jammed paper, gently grasp it and pull it out in the direction of paper movement to avoid damaging the printer.
4. Check the Rear Cover (if applicable): Some printers have a rear cover or panel that allows access to the exit rollers and other internal components. If your printer has a rear cover, you may need to open it to clear the jam completely.
5. Remove Paper Trays (if necessary): If the jammed paper extends into the paper trays, you may need to remove the trays to access and remove the jam more effectively.
6. Clear Paper Path: Ensure that all remnants of the jammed paper are cleared from the printer's paper path. Check for any small pieces of paper that may have torn during the jam and remove them as well.
7. Close the Covers: After you have successfully removed the jam, close all the printer covers securely. Make sure they are properly latched to ensure the printer functions correctly.
8. Power On the Printer: Plug the printer back into the power source and turn it on. Perform a test print to verify that the paper jam issue has been resolved.

Follow the steps below to clear the paper jam.

1. Pull the paper tray completely out of the printer.
2. Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer.
3. Press the cover release button and then open the front cover.
4. Pull out the drum unit assembly. Pull the jammed paper up and out of the printer. If you cannot remove the drum unit assembly easily at this time, do not use extra force. Instead, pull the edge of the jammed paper from the paper tray. To prevent damage to the printer caused by static electricity, DO NOT touch the electrodes shown below.
   
5. Open the back output tray. Pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit. If the paper jam can be cleared, go to Step 7. After you have just used the printer, some internal parts of the printer are extremely hot! Wait for the printer to cool down before you touch the internal parts of the printer.
   
6. Open the jam clear cover. Pull the jammed paper out of the fuser unit.
7. Close the jam clear cover. Close the back output tray.
8. Push the lock lever down and take the toner cartridge out of the drum unit assembly. Take out the jammed paper if there is any inside the drum unit.
9. Put the drum unit assembly back in the printer.
10. Put the paper tray in the printer.
11. Close the front cover.

After a paper jam occurs in the rear cover of a Dell Laser Multi-Function Printer 1815N, the printer will not resume when the jammed paper is removed. This is the normal behavior of the printer as there is no sensor on the rear cover of this printer.

To open the back cover and remove any stuck paper, perform the following steps:

1. Open and close the front cover.
   The jammed paper may automatically exit the printer. If the paper does not exit, go to the next step.
2. Gently pull the paper out of the output tray.
3. If you cannot see the paper in the output tray or the paper does not move when pulled, open the rear cover.
4. Skip to step 9. If you do not see the paper, go to the next step.If you see the jammed paper, push the two blue pressure levers up and remove the paper.
   
5. Release the blue strap, the rear cover stopper, and fully open the rear cover.
6. Unfold the duplex guide fully.
7. While pushing the fuser lever to the right, open the fuser door. NOTICE: Make sure to unfold the duplex guide before opening the fuser door, or the fuser door may be damaged.
   
8. Pull the jammed paper out.
9. Return the levers, fuser door, rear cover stopper, and duplex guide to their original position.
10. Close the rear cover.
11. Open and close the front cover.
    Printing automatically resumes.

To remove the paperjam in machine you need to:

Open the front cover remove the drum and toner and look in the machine. Open the back cover and look for a Jam as well. Remove the paper tray there could be a piece of paper stuck there.

Wherever you find the Jam remove it slowly so it doesnt rip.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. Before you can clear the error message, you must locate where in the unit the paper is jammed.

Unplug the machine for safety. Now follow these instructions based on where the paper jam is located.

1. Pull the paper tray out of the machine.
2. Pull out the jammed paper.
3. Reset the machine by opening the Upper Jam Clear Cover and then closing it.

If you cannot remove the jammed paper from the front of the machine, or the error message still appears on the LCD after you have removed the jammed paper, please go to the next step.

4. Remove the Lower Jam Clear Cover from the back of the machine. Pull the jammed paper out of the machine.

5. Put the Lower Jam Clear Cover back on. Make sure the cover is set properly.

6. Open the Upper Jam Clear Cover. Make sure that there is no jammed paper left in the corners of the machine.
Note: If the paper is jammed under the print head, unplug the machine from the power source, then move the print head to take out the paper. 7. Close the Upper Jam Clear Cover.

8. Close the output paper tray cover and slide it forward, then push the paper tray firmly back into the machine. While holding the paper tray in place, pull out the paper support until it clicks and unfold the paper support flap.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

Turn of the printer, and do not close any of the tray or doors before all of the jams are cleared.
1). remove the paper from paper tray, removed the tray and remove the jams.
2).open the front cover and removed the toner cartidge assembly, remove any jams in this area, and behid the toner cartridge asembly.
3).left the flap at the front of the printer adn remove any jams heneath the lap.
4).Open the rear exit and remove any james.
close all covers and reinsert the paper tray and turn on the printer.

Actually, you need to double check the back cover and front cover, open them all to check all paper jam.
Besure to check the back cover, normally all paper jam is from the back.
be sure to close the front cover at the last cover to close.

a Samsung tecahnician justed fixed it for me. The feeder (at the back cover) just in wrong position, turn it to the opposite way and he recommended that next time if the paper jam no need to open the back cover just turn the printer off and then turn it on, the paper will feed out. But it case you have done as he recommend and it still jam, open it would be possible. (the Feeder I'm not sure what it's call, it were 3 piece of black plastic)

I had this totally annoying problem this morning. After looking for any obvious paper jams or small bits of loose paper, I tried several fixes: 1) open front cover, release levers that hold white rollbar in place, roll the bar forward to make sure nothing is stuck behind it, snap levers back in place; DID NOT fix the problem; 2) open top cover, remove print cartridge, look for jammed paper bits, close cover; DID NOT fix the problem; 3) unplug the machine, wait a few minutes, turn machine back on; DID NOT fix the problem. I even unplugged the machine, opened ALL the covers, turned the machine upside down and shake it to see if any paper clips, staples, or other objects have fallen inside the machine; DID NOT fix the problem. FINALLY, I pulled the paper feed tray forward, reached down to the feed rollers, twisted them a few turns, put paper back in the machine, and the "paper jam" message disappeared! This may not work for everyone, but it worked for me today, so I hope this helps someone out there to have a better day.
