My printer says that paper is jammed but was removed and alarm keeps showing so won't print

If the paper out tray is closed or not fully opened, then open it fully.
If that doesn't fix it, then the printer may believe that paper is jammed. You've already checked for jammed paper, so reload the paper supply and press the BLACK or COLOR button.
If that doesn't work, then disconnect the power for a few minutes and reconnect.
If that still doesn't work, there is probably a bad paper sensor or controller board.
Is your printer still under warranty?

Hi
Turn it off and on.
Check through the paper paths and clear any paper jam.
Try disconnecting the printer.
Leave it for like 2 hours and then connect it again.

The hardware error indicated on your printer is indicating that the printer is encountering problems when moving the print head.


This error can be indicated if there is any thing which may be preventing print head movement, things you can check include;

The printer ribbon is not jammed and is located correctly in the printer,
You can also check to ensure there is no paper jam of loose paper which may prevent print head movement,
You can also check the carriage shaft to ensure it is free from paper dust or any other obstructions.
With the printer powered off, the print head should slide freely across the width of the printer, you can then see if there is any obstruction to the printhead

you might try this:

Hi mani4u58,
After the print,does the alarm indicator show?
Are the papers loaded and aligned in the correct way in the printers cassette?Please align them well and also note that the cassette can hold only around 250 sheets at a go.Remove the cassette completely when loading the papers and after paper load,insert the cassette as far as it can go.Does the printer feed paper correctly?If not,there may be a paper jam.To clear the jam,open the front cover by pulling it towards you.Remove the cartridge and inspect the compartment.Also make sure the orange adhesive tape around the cartridge is full removed to free its connections.You can also unplug the printer and leave it for a while and then plug it back to clear jam.


Hope it helps.Thanks!

please help me. i have canon print mx308. the have paper jams. paper has the full out from print. how i can finish the problems?

give this a try

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.

Dear, there is very minor mechanical fault but it is better to visit the repair shop to fix it.

Best regards
