My Samsung CLP 310 Printer keeps on jamming halfway through printing.

Hi

The printer driver is corrupted and need to reinstall and install the printer driver and again set up the printer again.

I am sure it will helps you solve your problem. But if not, let me know if you need more help.

regards

Here is the link to the manual, it says that the flashing light is PROBABLY caused by lack of toner and the first step is to replace/replenish the corresponding flashing light to the toner. It explains that when the light turns stys on all the time the toner will be empty.
With regards to the paper jamming, there is 3 pages on things to do or try.

I hope this gives you a few ideas

You'll probably have to replace that exit sensor. Cleaning might not do it. Go to YouTube and watch this video: 5fJHykzkfww

You can get the part on eBay for about $10 and it's a fairly simple 15 minute fix.

I have the same issue. Printing envelopes produce unexpected noise (on real envelope or standard paper) during the proses. Printing the same document as an A4 document ran smoothly and quietly. Any solution :(

Hi

Please look at the printer properties under Paper, you will see that the type of paper used can be chosen.

1. This apparently makes the printer behave differently when the default is not chosen.

For example, when I choose Thick Paper, the printer feeds the paper inside the printer much slower than when default is chosen. This, most likely, is done to prevent the paper from jamming up somewhere inside from feeding too quickly.

Therefore, if one is finding that their printer is constantly having a paper jam, changing the paper type may have positive results.

2. Heat maybe another source of paper jams. Although there is no paper jammed in the laser printer, the laser printer may stop printing due from overheating. Therefore, if heat is the culprit, changing the paper type may not work.

Hope this helps !

DIY video tutorial on how to repair the Samsung CLP-315, CLP-301 laser printer "paper jam" problem, where the paper stops printing about halfway through for no apparent reason. My printer worked great otherwise, but was out of warranty. It would have been less expensive to get a new printer.

The problem is a very cheap sensor.

This repair takes 15 minutes and is inexpensive. Read the comments below.

I got the part from SamsungParts.com. Search for part #0604-001393

thanks :)

Hi,

if your printing is halfway to the exit. it is most likely the exit sensor is mulfunction.

get the exit sensor replace.

Chek paper size (A4, letter...etc)in driver options and compare it whit your file settings (fo example - you trying to print something whit paper size A4 but printer expect letter format...etc)
Clean paper feed roller

Go to YouTube and watch this video: 5fJHykzkfww

I will try to add the video to this post. The sensor is available on eBay for around $8 to $12 and it takes only about 15 minutes to fix the printer.

I have the same problem - reading elsewhere - people talk of an exit sensor failing - that would figure - because one minute it was perfect the next it prints just half way and stops the print in the exit jaws - surely somebody knows the exact solution to this issue.

Any help with ideas about this problem ?
