Canon PIXMA  MP460 All-In-One InkJet Printer Logo
Anonymous Posted on Apr 12, 2010

After clearing a paper jam on my MP460, I get another error message, 'the paper is jammed. Clear the paper and press [ok]', which can't be removed. Pressing [ok] has no effect and I can't get into the main menu. Turning the printer off and on has no effect either. Any suggestions?

    Thanks for your advice. I previously removed jammed paper using light cardboard. This error message has now disappeared after the machine was off overnight. I worked on the copier when it was switched on. Maybe that caused the error message.

A few possible solutions:

- Open the top of the printer and look along the print path for pieces of paper.
- Press the reset button.
- Turn off the printer first and then unplug it. Plug it back in and turn it on. Wait for it to start up.

Good luck!

Jamming problem

try this
  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.

Paper Jam

Most likely a bad or obstructed sensor. Use compressed air to blow around the top and back of the printer removing heavy paper dust and look under the pickup rollers for small pieces of ripped paper. If the sensor is bad, contact service and support.
