SOURCE: says paper jam but there is none. pixma mp450

Take any paper out of the paper feeder and get a plastic ruler the softer the better lift the top of the printer up so you can see where the print cartridges are now push the ruler down through the paper feed roller be careful because you could break the rollers go from left to right right to left twice and check for any debris once you have done this unplug the printer for about 20 seconds then plug back in and let it reset then try copying or printing a doc and see how you go!

SOURCE: my canon mx310 keeps showing a paper jam alarm and there is no paper jam. how do I fix it?

give this a try

  1. Turn off the printer.
  2. Remove any paper trays. Inspect them for wrinkled or damaged paper.
  3. Also open the back cover of the printer if this model has one.
  4. Open any other doors that give access to the printer's paper path and to the toner or ink cartridge.
  5. If necessary, remove the toner or ink cartridge. Place it away from light/ sun light to avoid damaging it.
  6. If you find a piece of jammed paper, remove it by holding it with both hands and pulling firmly. The goal is to keep the paper from tearing. If several pieces are jammed together, try pulling out the middle piece first to loosen the jam.
  7. If the paper does tear, try rotating the roller gears manually to free the paper. Don't force anything, though. Do this step especially if the jam message comes up repeatedly without any obvious paper jam, there may be a small tear of paper inside.
  8. Ones the printer is free of paper Replace the toner or ink cartridge and paper trays, close any doors you opened and turn the printer back on.
  9. If the printer paper jam message still appears, then there is still some paper in the printer. Reinspect the paper path.
  10. see alternative if the problem is still not solved.



alternative :
Load a piece of thick paper, for example photo paper and press the resume button (may be diffrent button on diffrent models) a few times to the printer picks up the paper and puts it through the machine.

Forcing a piece of cardstock as far into the feed as I could, then removing it fixed this problem for me.

Hopefully it will work for you!

Printer displays alarm and indicates there is a paper jam. However, there is no paper jammed. What can be the problem?

Could be dirt blocking a sensor, damaged sensor, or paper pieces where the sensor can pick them up.

My printer is showing error as "hardware alarm +1308 +131 --- 000004+0381+1317" wat could be the problem

The hardware error indicated on your printer is indicating that the printer is encountering problems when moving the print head.


This error can be indicated if there is any thing which may be preventing print head movement, things you can check include;

The printer ribbon is not jammed and is located correctly in the printer,
You can also check to ensure there is no paper jam of loose paper which may prevent print head movement,
You can also check the carriage shaft to ensure it is free from paper dust or any other obstructions.
With the printer powered off, the print head should slide freely across the width of the printer, you can then see if there is any obstruction to the printhead

All the alarm lights on printere is flickering.The printer is not printing, no paper jam

If you see that all lights on the printer are flashing, that indicates an error on the printer. Please press the continue button to see the secondary error code. The secondary code will indicate the another light sequence indicating specific problem on the printer.

For further assistance, please contact Lexmark Technical Support.

The alarm light is on and the printer is flashing error 03. Other info has indicated this means there is a paper jam but there is no paper in the printer. Not sure how to get the printer working again. Any...

Hi:
First try unpluging the unit from the Ac outlet and waiting for at least 5 minutes, then reapply power this usually will reset the printer. If problem persists then try using some canned air to blow out the printer ports. If it still says paper jam after the previous then you may have a bad paper sensor.

Blinking lights

This generally indicates a paper jam. I had this happen just yesterday, and SWORE there was no jam. And of course my wife looks at it for 2 minutes and finds the paper jam. So be sure to give a serious lookover 2 or 3 times, and get a fresh pair of eyes on it if you still cant locate it.
