Question about Brother DCP-7020 All-In-One Laser Printer

4 Answers

DCP-7020 It jams about every other time I try and print something. It's not a matter of getting it unjammed, I just need to know what to do to keep it from jamming so often in the first place.

    My printer is jamming after it prints, but before it makes it out to the tray it crumples up like an accordian. Any suggestions?

    Printer jams every other paper/document. Cleaned the rollers to no avail. All the gears are clean and no sign of deterioration. Need help.

    It will accept paper thru the single sheet feed and copy fine but paper loaded from the tray does not make it to the upper roller to be pulled thru the rest of the way.

    I have cleaned the paper take-up roller but no help.

    There doesn't appear to be anything stuck or jammed in the path.

    It just seems that the paper take-up roller isn't getting the paper all the way to the secondary roller so the process stalls as the secondary roller spins for a few seconds and I get a "Paper Jam" fault.

    It appears that the paper take-up roller is bad but I haven't finished using the initial sample toner cartridge yet.

    That is pretty sad for a product from Brother.

My suggestion is to take the printer to the highest floor in your building open a window and see if it can fly. or just use it as a $200 paper weight because after 3 months it has been to the shop 3 times and still is not working they way it should. Bad equipment bad support, and just plain bad product all around.

I didn't find any paper shreds in the machine. I did change to Hammermill brand paper and the copier is working fine. Thanks for the information.

Paper jams are usually caused by small pieces of paper tearing off and getting stuck somewhere in the paper path, especially if is crumpling like an accordian. There are small 'flags' in various places in the machine for detecting jams and whether the paper has exited the machine, etc. Those can be damaged by people trying to dig out jammed paper with sharp objects. Warn rollers and seperation pads will also cause jams. Look thoroughly with a flashlight and a small mirror is required sometimes. Try to determine where exactly the jam is occuring.

It appears that after extensive use, the roller in the toner cartridge starts to bind and drag. This, in turn, prevents the paper from passing through the toner and the paper accordians into the toner. The only solution is buying a new toner cartridge. This printer is not designed for heavy use.

Every time I try to print a paper, it always says that it has a paper jam. I have took out the paper, and did everything it said to do, but it still jams. What should I do?
Usually if it says a paper is jammed, there "is" something in there that got missed. You just have to keep digging until you find it. You did't say if it actually starts to print first, or if it says it right off the bat from the previous print attempt. It may require further disassembly to find the problem, ...it could be something very tiny if a piece tore off when you were unjamming it before. It could also be "mis-feeding" ...reply with a liitle more info if you don't find it.

Paper jams but doesn't go anywhere!
Hello there
You may not see a paper jam.

This may work for you, it has worked for many here I given this advice so gave it a try it could work for you. Generally when this happens, something has fallen into the printer, or a piece of paper has been jammed in there.

First step, remove the ink cartridge, and turn the printer upside down and gently shake it, see if anything comes out.

If nothing goes, or you can't hear anything rattling around, get a piece of cardstock paper (60lb or heavier) and gently push this through the printer, to see if it will help push out what might be stuck in there.
And gave the rode that the ink slides on a good clean and maybe a bit oil on cloth and wipe the rod with it.

Please come back and just gave a vote, it will gave me some satisfaction to know am helping some one so I will keep on helping.

HI this is happening to me right now too-- try this-- I'm not sure if it's going to work-- but it's worth a shot.

On your computer, go to a print menu to print a document.
click on properties
go to maintenance tab
try the quiet/sleep mode

also, try going to custom and slow down the printing allowing for a little extra dry time.

reason I suggest it: my printer is doing the same, it's almost like the auto sheet feeder (only on the right side--why paper is grabbing weird) is grabbing too quickly. When in sleep mode, it seems to slow it down a little. I've also been printing 1 page at a time. I'm not saying this is a permanent fix, but at $50 for a pack of ink-- hopefully if you can't fix it-- it can get you to use up the last of the ink you have incase you decide to get a new printer.
