Frequent paper jams.

Very frequent paper jam. Paper will not make the first turn in the paper track. Paper is not damaged, just won't make the turn. I usually am able to get it going by turning the paper around to present the opposite end and fluffing the stack of paper, then when it finishes warming up it will go through, but frequently the next page starts the process again.

I have the same problem

I know someone who can solve this problem

Printer worked fine for quite awhile then all of a sudden I get error message telling me a paper jam but there is none. It just won't feed the paper through.

Heavy cardstock and certain types of slick or coated paper can cause frequent paper jams. To better isolate the cause of your problem (machine or paper), try a new ream of regular 20 lb copy or laser paper.

Don't Overload
Overloading your paper tray can cause paper jams. Your manual may say that your input tray can hold 250 sheets -- but if you keep getting jams, try loading 225 sheets instead.
Check the Paper
Check the minimum/maximum paper weights that your printer can handle. Paper that is too thick, or too thin, can cause jams.
If you still get paper jams after this may be its time to clear the internal of the machine..You might want to have a look at the following link..
