Hi

Chances are the sensor for grabbing the paper on the left hand side is defective. Try to check if there are obstructions as well

Hope this helps

the left side of the printer pulls the paper causing the printer to jam when trying to print

Hello there,
If the paper is lodged too far into the printer and can't be removed: Press the power button to turn the printer off. 
Pull firmly on the paper to remove it. If you can't reach the paper because it is too far in, raise the front cover and remove the paper from the front of the printer. 
Close the front cover. 
Press the power button to turn the printer back on. 
Resend your document to print.

Ensure that: 
The paper is a recommended paper for Laser printers. 
You do not force the paper down into the printer when you load it. For example, if you are loading letter or A4 size paper, the top edge of the paper should extend above the top of the sheet feeder. 
The printer is on a flat, level surface. 
The left paper guide is against the side of the paper. 
You do not load too much paper in the sheet feeder. Depending on the thickness of your paper, the sheet feeder can hold up to 100 sheets of paper. 
The left paper guide does not cause the paper to bend in the sheet feeder. 
Your printer feeds regular paper as expected. If regular paper feeds without causing problems, load the envelopes vertically against the right side of the sheet feeder. Make sure the paper guide is against the side of the envelopes. 
Envelopes or the appropriate specialty papers are selected in the printer driver. 
You are using a paper or envelope size supported by your printer.

PAPER JAMMED INSIDE THE MFC

1. Remove the Jam Clear Cover located in the back of the machine..
Squeeze the plastic tabs located on the right and left side of the cover
and pull the cover off.

2. Remove any paper you can see jammed in the machine. If you cannot
remove the jammed paper from the back of the unit follow the in
structions listed below for reinserting the cover and then continue to Step 4.

3. Re-insert the Jam Clear Cover. The top of the cover has a slotted

printhead to the far right side of the machine (the "home" position) and
then remove the jammed paper.

6. Lift the scanner cover to release the lock and then gently push the
scanner cover support down and close the scanner cover.
