Problems with Paper Jam

A tiny piece of torn paper covering the sensor. Always pull the machine out and open all the doors. Shine a flashlight into all the corners. Also remove the toner cartridge and all the paper trays.

Try using regular paper on unit as specified by Samsung. If that does not resolve the issue then the hassle lies with the paper feed mechanism. Often a good cleaning of all the rollers in the path can take care of the issue.

Most printers have a lid in the back of the printer that you can pull out and then just pull the paper out from there. You can also see the paper jam if you pull the paper tray out and try to pull it out from there but pulling from the back of the printer is much more easier and convenient.

Hope this helps. If have the model and printer information I might be able to give you more information. Sometimes even a tiny bit of paper will give paper jam error so it is necessary to clear it completely.

Paper jam I suppose is the commonest of all printer problems as it can occur due to strayed, stuck bits of papers in pathway of paper tray, outlet, roller etc. I would recommend cleaning the paper inlet, outlet, and other possible areas to avoid a paper jam situation.

Follow the given steps to clear paper jam
>Clear any loose paper from the paper tray. This will help you locate the jam. You will find it either in front, near the paper tray, or in the rear.

->To clear a paper jam near the paper tray, grip the paper and pull it firmly but gently from the printer. If you find a stack of papers jammed, grab from the middle of the stack and pull.

->For a rear jam, remove the back of the printer. When you find a free edge on the paper, grip it firmly and pull it out.

->Replace the back cover. Press the "Resume" button or turn off the printer, and then turn it back on. Your settings should reset.

->Try printing another document

Possible problems:
- Tiny paper or something is stuck in your printer.
- Your printer roller may have dirt on it.

Solutions:
-There may be a very tiny bit of paper stuck somewhere - look very carefully. Also, open all areas and then close them - sometimes a printer has to have that before it resets from a jam. Check your paper to see if it is being grabbed by the rollers. if they are dirty or worn, the paper will not catch and the printer thinks it is jammed. wipe the rollers with a bit of alcohol on a paper towel (barely damp) if that is the case.

first with any jam message, identify if you have actually had any paper jam in it in the first place, especially if you are turning up to site and you're getting 2nd hand info. IE "oh no it just said that ...one day"
so assuming it actually had jammed paper in it that was removed at some point, find out where it was jammed...front or back. how it was removed...via front or back. note! many printers dont like having paper pulled out in the reverse direction to which the paper normally travels, this sometimes catches little flags and breaks them or pulls them out of position and the little photo sensor that is normally closed is then left 'electrically/optically' open so the printer sees this as a jam as soon as its finished booting up.
okay assuming you have gathered reliable info re the above.
check that area of the path for what looks like a small swinging flag, or maybe a little black 'U' shaped sensor that looks like it should have a flag in it.
remember the print will/can only say there is a jam if a sensor is stuck..open/closed or how it 'shouldnt be normally.
if you're out of luck you may find the pieces of a flag loose in the unit.
ideally they have a bit of flexability and just pop out.
BIG rule...dont force 'remove' jams. if it wont come out, contact someone with a bit of mechanical ability, even if they arent a printer tech, (like myself) then at least they have an 'intact' unit to work with so they can see how its supposed to work and just pull it apart to clear the prob area.

ok...so assuming you've found the area, if the flag is broken i wouldnt try making bits up to do the job, timing is critical, unless you can glue it back together exactly right then dont bother, you'll likely get timing related jam messages. just contact the manufacturer, see i you can get a part number. it may cost you a few bucks for a bit of plastic but its the best way trust me.
HP, lexmark, and fuji xerox i have found pretty good with parts down to a small level. some other brands i wouldnt touch with a barge pole.
after all this. most jams are in the fuser and most people are rough as guts and usually break something in the fuser by yanking it cos they're angry.
most fuser can be sort of pulled apart into sub components (although its not expected in my industry) so if you have an intact fuser but its got a heavily 'fanfold' paper in it so tight you dont even know its there, dont dig it out with a screwdriver, if you score or scratch the surface of the rollers then you done your money there. better to look at it for a bit, try to work out how to loosen it apart and remove the jam, inspect the rollers for scratchs or damage, andreassemble it.
(15 years repairing this gear, the methods are pretty much similar thinking for most printers when physical issues are the prob.) best of luck. - keith
