Question about Canon BubbleJet i560 InkJet Printer

1 Answer

Paper jam My Canon i560 constantly tries to put through several sheet of paper at once. I have moved the thickness lever to the full left to no avail. I still get a wrong paper thickness error message. How do I get it to properly respond to normal 20 lb paper? I am using Windows XP

OK, first try resetting th printer. This sometimes works the first time and corrects a lot of issues. Switch it off, take out all paper, check for jams with a torch right down back and open cover and check ther too. Once you are sure there are no paper jams (look really carefully they can be tiny!) unplug all cords and cables. Plug all back in turn it on, and try printing again. Post back if no luck and i will further assist.

Printer doesn't send paper all the way says paper jam, rollers are moving doesn't print
Possibly the sheet detector sensor, that had become bent out of true alignment, which is telling the printer that there are a number of sheets going through and indicating a jam situation. You need to inspect the guide roller, make sure it is free to move and touches the sheet of paper when it is loaded. If it is bent out of alignment, GENTLY try to bend it back downwards (make sure the paper thickness setting is set to paper not to card when doing so,)

Tip

Canon ImageClass MF3240 paper jam fix
The Canon ImageClass MF3240 continues to show "paper jam" error even if someone followed all the possible fix to remove the jam. After clearing the paper in all access doors (both front and back), the printer still gives the paper jam error. Also, if you have tried restarting the printer several times to no avail and the red light keeps blinking, here is the fix to what is most probably been causing the paper jam problem of Canon ImageClass MF3240.

1. Turn off the printer and pull out all plugs and power cord that is attached to your printer.

2. Remove the paper tray at the bottom and let the printer lie at its back so that you can see underneath.

3. Get a flashlight and look closely for the sensor located underneath the printer. The sensor is located in a small square hole, just above the small black plastic "lever" (looks like a small hockey paddle) on the left side of the gray rubber roller. Move the lever so that you can freely look closer on the hole.

4. Notice because there could be a tiny paper shred stuck inside and this causes the sensor to detect a paper jam.

5. Get a small tweezer to remove that paper out.

6. Next, let the printer stand normally and return the tray back.

7. Re-plug all cables and start your printer. That's it!

Hi,

To clear a paper jam:
  • Pull Carefully
    If the sheet of paper is visible at the output slot of the printer (in other word, it stopped on its way out of the printer), try pulling carefully on it. If it pulls smoothly and easily, then carefully pull it the rest of the way out. If there is resistance, then stop and go on to the next step.
  • Open the Cover
    Open the printer cover and wait (in the case of an inkjet printer) for the carriage to stop moving. Carefully, slowly pull out any paper that is caught there.
  • Take Care
    Do NOT pull paper out from where it was feeding into the printer (where the blank paper enters the device). The rollers on your printer may only go in one direction, and if you force them the wrong way, you could damage the machine.
Be careful of the following:
  • Laser Printers
    If you have a laser printer, be very careful when pulling out the paper -- laser printers can get hot.
  • Paper Shreds
    If any paper tore, either during the jam or while you were removing them, remove any appliances that you can (paper trays, etc.) and look for the shreds of paper. Try to make sure nothing has been left behind.
If you have frequent paper jams:
  • Don't Overload
    Overloading your paper tray can cause paper jams. Your manual may say that your input tray can hold 250 sheets -- but if you keep getting jams, try loading 225 sheets instead.
  • Check the Paper
    Check the minimum/maximum paper weights that your printer can handle. Paper that is too thick, or too thin, can cause jams.
Goodluck..

Got a Canon i850s used with no instructions. How do I load paper?
You have to open the front cover and move the paper thickness lever at the top of the print head holder to the left position, close the cover. Pull out the paper rest and the output tray and load the paper, aligning it with the right side of the sheet feeder. Press the paper guide and slide it against the left side of the stack of paper and you're done!

I860 will not print a 4 x 6 photo on a windows 7 pc. It gives a message that I have installed the wrong paper. It only wants to print full sheet size photos. I installed the canon add on module drivers and...
Set Envelopes Correctly Before setting envelopes, press down on all four corners and edges of the envelopes to remove curls and bends, as well as any air contained.

i80_envelopes_1.gif
Note: The flap of the envelope should be straightened if bent. If the envelope is curled, hold the opposite corners and gently bend them in the opposite direction. If the leading edge of the envelope is puffed or curled up, use a pen, etc. to press the envelope flat and sharpen the crease. (Press the envelope completely flat, working from the middle to the edge.)


i80_envelopes_2.gif How to set envelopes:
  1. Set envelopes to the right side of the sheet feeder. Set envelopes with their longer side vertically and the flap either at the bottom or on the left.

  2. Pinch and slide the paper guide until it firmly resets against the left side of the stacked envelopes.

    Note: The maximum number of envelopes that can be loaded is five.

Constant paper jam after clearing and checking all areas
Don't put too much paper in the printer Try only having 10-50 sheets or so in at a time. These printerssay they can hold hundreds of sheets, but they can't without having a "jam".

If that isn't the problem, you should pull the paper back a few millimeters, to make sure you haven't pushed it into the internal print-area.

Some printers are sensitive to the thickness of paper that you insert. Try using a different grade of paper, and see if that works better.

Printer won't print
I know that the paper lever is where your paper is loaded. Check the grey plastic tab and try to drag it to the right or left. Depending on your paper size you might have to check the owners manual.
