Hi there,
If the paper get stuck inside the printer you can also remove it fro the back of it. Open the back cover and try to remove the jammed paper inside of the printer. If still the paper can't be remove try again to removed the drum and toner.
Open the front cover or pull down the cover right above the brother logo infront of the machine then hold the handle of the drum and toner assembly.Pull the drum and toner assembly towards you, just put a little force on it. Then remove the jammed paper.
Just to make sure, remove the toner from the drum by holding down the tab on the side and lift the toner out. Look for any small piece of paper inside of the drum unit. Reinstall the toner back to the drum. reinstall the drum and toner back to the machine, make sure that you here a click sound. After that close the front and back cover.

Hi there,
You can remove the jammed paper by removing the drum and toner inside the printer.
First Open the front cover, just pull down the cover right above the brother logo. You will see the handle for the drum and toner. Hold the handle and pull it towards you, just use a little force on it. Then remove the jammed paper inside. Just to be sure you can remove the toner from the drum by holding down the green tab on the side of the drum unit. then pull the toner out. Check if there's a small piece of paper inside the drum unit. Put the toner back to the drum make sure it clicks into place. Reinstall the drum and toner back to the printer. It should also click into place. Then close the cover.
Hope this helps. Rate if it works. Thanks

Hi dorothyhover,

Here's how you would clear paper jam from your Brother HL 1430:

1. Remove the paper cassette completely from the printer.

2. Pull any jammed paper up and out of the printer.

3. Open the front cover and remove the drum unit assembly.

4. Pull any jammed paper up and out of the printer.

Do not remove the drum unit assembly with additional force at this time if you cannot remove it easily. Instead, pull the edge of the jammed paper from the paper cassette.

5. Open the rear cover and pull the paper towards the back of the printer, the fuser may get dirty with toner powder and may result in toner scatter on the next printed page or pages. Print a few copies of the test page until the toner scatter on the printed pages clears.


6. Close the rear cover and install drum unit assembly, close the front cover.


Hope it helps.
