Paper shift leads to jam.

Regular paper, envelopes, or specialty media may get stuck or jammed in the printer. Follow the instructions below to find and remove jammed paper (or other media) from the printer. If the HP All-in-One has a paper jam, first check the rear door. If the jammed paper is not in the rear rollers, check the front door.

Step one: Check for and remove any paper stuck in the paper In tray

1. Remove all loose paper from the paper In tray.
2. Press the RESUME button.
   
   • If the paper jam is cleared, skip to Step Four
     
   • If the paper is still jammed, continue on to the next step below.

If more than one sheet is stuck in the printer, remove the paper, one sheet at a time by taking hold of a sheet in the middle of the stack and, with both hands and firm, even pressure, pull the sheet towards you. Usually, removing one or two sheets from the middle of the stack will release the pressure and the rest of the stack can be removed.

After removing the paper, check to make sure no scraps of paper are stuck in the printer.

• If the paper jam is cleared, skip to Step Four.
• If the paper is still jammed, continue on to the next section.
  
  

Step two: Clearing a paper jam from the back of the printer

If the paper jam is not accessible from the In tray, follow the instructions below to clear the paper from the back of the printer.

1. Unplug the HP All-in-One.
2. Press in the tab on the left side of the rear door to release the door. Remove the door by pulling it away from the HP All-in-One. Figure 1: Removing the rear door
   
   

1. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.
   CAUTION:If the paper tears when removing it from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the device. If all of the pieces of paper are not removed from the HP All-in-One, more paper jams are likely to occur.
2. Replace the rear door. Gently push the door forward until it snaps into place.
3. Press Cancel to continue the current job.
   
   • If the paper jam is cleared, skip to Step Four
     
   • If the paper is still jammed, continue on to the next section.
     
     

Step three: Lift the front cover and slowly remove any jammed paper

1. Unplug the power cable.
2. If necessary, pull the input tray down to open it. Then, lower the print cartridge door. Figure 2: Lowering the print cartridge door
   
   

1. Gently pull the paper out of the rollers.
   CAUTION:If the paper tears when while removing it from the rollers, check the rollers and wheels for torn pieces of paper that might be remaining inside the device. If all the pieces of paper are not removed from the HP All-in-One, more paper jams are likely to occur.
2. Close the print cartridge door.
   Figure 3: Closing the print cartridge door
   

1. Plug the power cable into the HP All-in-One.
2. Turn the power on.
3. Press Start Copy Black or Start Copy Color to continue the current job.

Step four: Verify the print cartridge carriage can move freely

1. Unplug the power cable.
2. Check to see if the print cartridge carriage can move freely from one side of the printer to the other. If the carriage is to the right and out of plain view, skip to Step Five. Do not try to force it to move if it is hung up on something. [img src="http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf-JAVA/Image/common/note.png" alt="">
   NOTE:Be careful not to force the print cartridge carriage. If the carriage is stuck, forcing it to move will damage the printer.
   
   • If the carriage does not move, continue with the next step below.

Remove the print cartridges.

Step five: Reload and test the printer

Once the jammed paper is removed, verify that the printer is still functioning properly.

1. Reload the printer with plain paper.
2. Perform a self-test by pressing and holding the Resume button until the printer starts printing. A test page should print.

NOTE:Do not put more than 35 sheets of plain paper in the document feeder tray.

Gently move the print cartridge to the far right of the printer.

Remove the paper from the paper In tray, but do not remove the drawer.

Remove the rear access door.

With your fingers, rotate the rollers "up" three full rotations.

Push the rear access door back into the printer until it snaps firmly into place.

Try cleaning the rollers again and fan the paper. When you clean the rollers, use alcohol and a lint free cloth. Don't put too many sheets in the feed tray.

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..

First remove any paper not loaded from the tray - DO NOT use force!

Explanation of the paper jam message

A 241.09 Paper Jam message indicates that the printer thinks a sheet of paper has jammed at the front of the printer. The jammed sheet of paper is most likely to be found in one of the paper trays or under the toner cartridge.
NOTE: If you select Show areas on the operator panel, you can view one or more images to help you locate and clear the jam.

Clearing the jam
To resolve the paper jam message, you must first clear the entire paper path. To access the jam area, you will need to open one or more of the paper trays. Follow the steps in the table below to help you locate and clear the jam.
Step Action Image 1 Open the printer paper tray (tray 1), and remove any jammed media you find there. 2 Open the front cover and remove the toner cartridge. Examine the area inside the printer and remove any jammed media you find there. 3 If you have a duplex option installed, also remove the duplex access tray and remove any jammed media you find there. 4 If you were printing from an optional paper tray, such as tray 2 or tray 3, open any optional trays, starting at the top, and remove any jammed media. Pull the print media either up or down. If it does not pull easily one way, try the other way 5 If you are printing from an optional 2000-sheet feeder, open the front door. Press the elevator button (A) to lower the tray. Remove any partially fed media from the feeder.
NOTE: Make sure the stack of print media is straight and pushed all of the way into the feeder. Incorrectly loaded paper is the most common cause of paper jams from a 2000-sheet feeder option.

For a larger image, click here. 6 Finally, reinstall all of the paper trays and press the button to try printing again.
NOTE: You may receive a different paper jam message informing you that another sheet of paper is jammed elsewhere in the printer. If this occurs, the error code will indicate the location. Click here for a diagram showing the error code locations. The paper path will vary, depending on the paper source and number of paper feed options installed.
Remove any jammed sheets of paper you find and try printing again.

Over time the rollers get slick and hard. If one side is slick and the other edge is not, it will grab paper sideways and you get a paper jam. Get some rubbing alcohol and rub the rollers (completely all around) to get some debris removed. Some rollers require a slight rubbing with an abrasive pad.

Introduction When the all-in-one detects a paper jam, the display will read, " Paper jam: Press OK to continue ." The computer might display the following message: " There is a paper jam (or misfeed). Clear the jam and press the Enter, Resume or OK button on the HP PSC. " This document will assist in correcting paper feed problems such as paper jamming, print slanting, and multiple pages feeding into the all-in-one. Clearing paper jams CAUTION: All paper jams must be removed from the back of the all-in-one through the rear access door. Pulling the paper from the front of the unit rotates the paper feed roller in the wrong direction and can cause damage to the all-in-one.

1. Turn off the all-in-one and unplug the power cord.
2. Turn the all-in-one around so the back of the unit is facing out.
3. Open the rear access door:
   1. Locate the tab on the left side of the door and press it toward the right. The door will shift slightly to the right.
   2. As the door shifts to the right, pull the door out slightly to release.
   3. When the door is released, gently remove the door by sliding the door out and to the left.
   Figure 1: Removing the rear access door
4. Inspect the pressure rollers on the access door. They should be clean and rotate easily. If needed, clean the rollers with a soft lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water (distilled water preferred). If the rollers do not rotate easily, they may need to be replaced.
5. From the access door opening, gently remove the jammed paper.
6. Remove the paper stack from the paper supply tray. Discard any paper damaged or bent.
7. Re-stack the reload the paper into the paper supply tray. Push the stack into the tray until it stops.
8. Re-seat the rear access door:
   1. Insert the two posts on the right of the door into the holes on the right side of the opening (as shown in the figure below).
   2. Press the tab on the left side of the door toward the right. The door will shift slightly to the right.
   3. As the door shifts to the right, push in the left side of the door to lock it into position.
   Figure 2: Rear access door posts
9. Reconnect the power cord and turn on the unit.

Causes of recurring paper feed problems If paper feed problems occur repeatedly, one of the following might be the cause:

• Something is obstructing the paper or print cartridge path. Open the cover of the all-in-one and check for obstructions.
• The rear access door is unlocked or improperly seated. Follow the steps above to remove and re-seat the access door.
• The paper width guide is not positioned against the paper. Adjust the paper width guide against the edge of the paper.
• The paper is not supported. Paper should be flat and smooth with no folded, torn, or rough edges. Some glossy and/or coated papers, or reused paper (already printed on one side) can experience a higher incident of paper feed issues.
• The paper tray is not fully extended.
• The paper feed rollers need cleaning. Over time paper fibers and dust will stick to the rollers and should be removed. See instructions for cleaning the rollers below.

Paper jam message displays but no paper is jammed The print carriage might be jammed. Follow these steps to correct the problem:

1. With the power on, lift the print cartridge access door. The print carriage should move to the access area located on the right. If the print carriage stays all the way left, reset the unit by unplugging the then plugging in the power cord. If the carriage still does not move to the right, continue with the steps below.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the all-in-one.
3. Remove both print cartridges.
4. Push the print carriage slightly to the left and then to the right to verify that the print carriage is not jammed. If the print carriage will not move, check for obstructions under and around the carriage.
5. Close the print cartridge access door.
6. Plug in the power cord.
7. When the " Insert Print Cartridges " message displays, open the print cartridge access door and insert the print cartridges. Verify that both cartridges are seated correctly and lock into position.
8. If the error recurs, contact HP for assistance.

Envelopes The envelope flap can move with the grip of the rollers and cause paper feed problems. Use envelopes with a rectangular flap and/or tuck the flap inside the envelope when printing. The print is skewed or crooked A small amount of skewing is not unusual with printers. When there is too much skewing, the following steps can help reduce the amount.

1. Adjust the paper width guide to fit against the edges of the paper stack.
2. Verify that the rear access door is properly seated and locked into position.
3. Remove the rear access door and clean the paper feed rollers (see the instructions at the bottom of this document).

More than one sheet of paper feeds in at the same time Several paper caused problems can result in more than one page feeding into the unit. Check the list below:

• Reused paper (paper already printed on one side)
• Torn or folded paper
• Textured or coated paper
• Unsupported specialty paper

To determine if the paper is causing problems, try using clean, undamaged sheets of plain white 70 - 90 g/m2 (20 - 24 pound) inkjet paper, such as HP Multipurpose or Bright White paper. If this paper feeds correctly, the problem is probably with the other paper. Cleaning the paper feed rollers Over time dust and paper fibers will accumulate on the paper feed rollers. This can cause paper feed problems. Follow the steps below to clean the rollers: Figure 3: Paper feed rollers

1. Turn off the all-in-one and unplug the power cord.
2. Remove the rear access door (as describe above in this document).
3. Clean each roller using a clean lint-free cloth lightly moistened with water (distilled water preferred). Rotate the rollers to clean the entire surface.
4. Verify that the paper feed rollers on the rear access door are clean and rotate easily.
5. Re-seat the rear access door.
6. Plug in the power cord and turn on the all-in-one.
