Load paper and paper jam error msg

I've resolved this problem. It is NOT an easy fix, but it is most likely that your ASF unit is broken. There are a few gears that drive the paper feed mechanism. One of the gears sits on a cheap plastic spindle that will break over time. I have two of the MP730's and both had the same problem of grinding, and misfeeding. You can fix the broken spindle, but it will take you at least a few hours, if you know what you are doing. I created a PDF, but this assumes you know how to get to the ASF, which requires complete dissembly of your MP730. To do this, you need to buy a manual. I'll stick my PDF file into the area where you can add "files"

No solutions really. I have the same problem. I have a service manual. It takes a few hours to take it apart. I took out the ASF (automatic sheet feeder) unit out and cleaned it thoroughly, used compressed air to clean any sensors, and to no avail. It did absolutely nothing. The ASF unit is one of the last things you get to.....so it is a big pain. If you want the pages on taking it apart, feel free to email me at niedae AT iwon DOT com. Be sure to use tape to associate the screws with the various service parts. If you figure it out..please post your fix.
