Lexmark e250dn Will perform great, only issue, when the paper tray is just about empty - less then 1/2 full- the paper will not feed properly, will show paper jam, sheet remains crumpled in the paper tray....what would cause this? the rollers not catching the paper properly? anything i can do to fix it?

hi,

the issue that you have might need to change some settings from the printing properties. WHen you hit on PRINT, a box will open, right? look on the top right of that box, you will see "PROPERTIES" or "Preferences" just click on it, then another box will open. Click on Printing Shortcuts tab, try to review the settings. And if you want to print using the main tray, it should set it to Automatic select or Main tray. And make sure that it sets to General Printing. But if youre going to print a photo, you will have options there to choose what type of paper when you click on that, the settings on the paper size, paper source, etc. will change also. For paper source, make sure that it sets to Photo Tray.

If you will be able to open printing preferences, all options are there, you just need to read and choose which settings you want to use.

Thank you so much.

SOURCE: label sheets won't feed, jam

1. Turn the printer off and open the access cover.
2. Look for any obstructions in the paper path and remove them if necessary. (It is possible to move the carrier assembly with the power off.)
3. Turn the printer on, load some paper, and press the Form Feed button. (On the X83, press the Select button.)
4. Watch the paper as it feeds through and try to determine where the jam is occurring.
5. Check to see if all the rollers are turning.

If all the rollers are turning, there may be something in the feed path that you can't see. Go to step 6.
If not, there is probably a feed motor or a gear problem and the printer may require service.
6. If the paper is jamming under the carrier assembly, you may be able to fix it using the manual feed slot.
7. Turn the printer off.
8. Take a #10 envelope and feed it through the left side of the manual feed slot until it comes right through the printer to the back of the exit rollers.
9. Move it up and down first, and then slowly move it over to the right side. If something is stuck under the black guide plate, this may work it loose.


good luck..

THERE CAN BE OIL FROM YOUR HAND OR FROM THE PAPER YOU USE OR THE TYPE OF PAPER YOU USED, THE ROLLERS CAN MATERAIL OF SOME SORT ON THE ROLLER NOT ALLOWING ENOUGH GRIPPING OR PRESSURE TO PICK UP THE PAPER, CLEAN THE ROLLERS WITH PAINT THINNER OR ALCOHOLA, BLOW OUT THE DIRT AND DUST FROM TONER CARTRIDGE BE CAREFUL NOT TO BLOW TO HARD AND DESTROY THE TONER CONTAINER, OR OTHER VITAL PARTS IN THE MACHINE.

OR JUST BUY A NEW MACHINE MOST ARE A TIME A DOZEN ANY MORE.

Rollers could be worn out. Also could be a problem with the paper sensor. Not sure what type of sensor this printer uses. Some just use a pressure switch, others use a light sensor.
