There are 3 places to check for jammed paper.

Turn off the fax machine, then remove the tray and open the back cover, and open the front cover to remove the drum and toner (cartridge) and look inside machine.

After you find the jammed paper put the cartridge and tray back in machine and close all the covers.

Error message should go away.

It has messages or faxes in memory, and is waiting for the right conditions to print.
You may need to add paper, replace the toner cartridge, or clear a paper jam so that the printer can work.

Check to see if there is dust on the senor inside the fax machine, blow with some air can help

Are the all sensor flappers whole?Or it may be an PCB problem

Hi. Open the document control panel and look in with a flashlight and see if the jam switch is stuck. also look for a small piece of paper that might be stuck in there. The jam is in where you put documents in to fax out. Lawrence

please confirm that no foregin object droped inside like (stapler-pins)--confirm that paper jam switch in good condition and it is lever not broken and can move in free motion.-chek for small pieces of torn paper and clean the paper path.

I need to know if it still reads "paper jam?" If so, there must either be some piece of paper that is triggering the paper sensor, or the paper sensor actuator has become misaligned.

I have been having the same problem from my cannon l100.

If you switch off the fax machine for 30min the switch it back on again the fax will resets its self and will clear this error.

Just unplug the power cable in your machine and put it back again.The paper jam will clear but...also the fax memory will be clear at the same time.just tel the other line to re-send thier fax again.
