Paper jam msg blocks use of the prtr and won't clear Canon MP530

Hi
Please find below a fairly comprehensive guide to using envelopes on your machine
The address is automatically rotated and printed according to the envelope's direction by specifying with the printer driver properly.
You can only print on envelopes with the computer.
Do not use the following envelopes. They could jam in the machine or cause the machine to malfunction.
- Envelopes with an embossed or treated surface
- Envelopes with a double flap
- Envelopes whose gummed flaps are already moistened and adhesive Prepare envelopes.
Press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to flatten them.
If the envelopes are curled, hold the opposite corners and gently twist them in the opposite direction.
If the corner of the envelope flap is folded, flatten it.
Use a pen to press the leading edge in the inserting direction flat and sharpen the crease.
The envelopes may jam in the machine if they are not flat or the edges are not aligned. Make sure that no curl or puff exceeds 0.1 inches (3 mm). Load envelopes.
(1) Open the front cover gently, and extend the paper support.
(2) Use the right paper guide (A) to slide both paper guides all the way out.
(3) Load the envelopes in the center of the front tray WITH THE ADDRESS SIDE FACING DOWN.
The folded flap of the envelope will be faced up on the left side.
Push the envelopes all the way to the back of the front tray.
Up to 5 envelopes can be loaded at once.
(4) Slide the right paper guide (A) to align the paper guides with both sides of the envelopes.
Do not slide the paper guides too hard against the envelopes. The envelopes may not be fed properly.
Do not overload envelopes by stacking until the top of the stack touches the paper guides. (5) Open the output tray extension.
Open the paper output tray.and extend the paper output support.
Be sure to open the paper output tray when printing. If not open, the machine cannot start printing. After loading envelopes
Select the size and type of the loaded envelopes on the print settings screen of the printer driver. You may find it easier to download the manual from here
Canon PIXMA MG3250
and install it on your desktop for future reference

This should be in your manual complete with pictures.

You can print a single envelope using the photo/envelope feeder. Insert the envelope into the photo/envelope feeder with the side to be printed facing down and the flap to the left.

You can print multiple envelopes (max 20) from the bottom tray. Temporarily remove the top (output) tray. Slide the paper guide in the bottom tray to the left. Load your envelopes to the far right with the side to be printed down, flaps to the left (I like to tuck the flaps into each envelope so they are less easily jammed, but this is optional). Slide the paper guide to the right snugly against the envelopes. Replace the output tray. Start printing.

finally got the paper out by unplugging the whole thing, removing it from the shelf, and taking out the spare paper tray on the bottom of the unit... sure wish it had been designed with a "release" button!

Unless both feeder rollers went bad at the same time, which is unlikely, it must have something to do with the paper. It might be slightly damp, or not the correct kind. Try using high quality matte white paper from a brand new pack and see whether it still jams.

Use a small flash light and check for any debris blocking the roller from the tray...

Open the printer from the back you should see if there are paper scraps there. note that if you did not switch off the printer before pulling paper, the printer may damage. but try opening the printer from the back it could help.

pls expalin brifly.

look for a paper jam in the front and the back of the printer. open the compartments and take a look. if all is clear unplug the printer and then plug it back in. this will reset it. good luck.

Put envelope in bypass tray. Print on it.

I have called canon with this problem more than once and they keep telling me that I am using a "paper" that is not supported. I finally gave up and ended up telling them that I am now going to use my cheap HP printer because it can do what it's suppose to.
