    I tried to copy on Tyvek paper. The copy wraped itself around the exit [heated?] roller. Since Tyvek has plastic sandwiched between thin paper it is almost impossible to tear it off the final roller when I lift up the green arrow above the heater. I'm thinking about removing the heater roller to unwind the paper. Is that the best way to do this??

Your copier is rather old, and this is one of the "classic" symptoms for small Cannon units. I just stops working. Please do not waste your time and money trying to get it fixed; it will not last and for a little more cash you can buy a Samsung digital copier (such as the SCX-4521f).

Paper Jam
Hi Matt,
Here's how to:-
  • First turn the printer off and on.This is known to automatically clear paper jams by pushing the stuck paper out.
  • Remove all the papers from the feed trays.
  • Remove the cover from the housing of the printer to gain access into the inside of the printer.
  • Check for the jammed paper inside and gently pull it out.
  • Press on the flashing paper jam button to make the clearing easy.
  • If this doesn't clear the jam,unplug the printer from power and try removing the stuck papers firmly.
  • Plug the printer back and try printing now.
Check out these video tutorials for more on the same.
Hope this helps.Thanks!

Printer gives mesasage of jammed paper and will not print
Hi Pedro,
This means the printing paper maybe stuck.
  • Turn the printer off and on.This sometimes clears jam automatically.In case it doesn't:-
  • You need to gently pull the paper out from the rear tray or from the output slot.
  • In case it tears,turn the printer off and open the printhead cover and remove the papers carefully not to touch anything inside.Close the cover.
  • Load printing papers again and press RESUME on the printer to print queued print jobs.

Hope this helps.Thanks!

Hi my bizhub Di3510f copier is making copies and printing with like one vertical black thin line and like lighter grey lines all over the paper. The papers are eligible but it looks like the page is...
Sounds like your cleaning blade & drum. First try to clean the glass(small ruler size & large one) and if that doesn't work you will need to replace the drum & blade.

I have copier CANON PC981, when i copying theres an error coming out to displays says E2 followed by 20. and turns off automatically. how to fix this problem, thanks
Dear marlauris,

According to Canon this error is mainly due to faulty x-lamp, power supply, or exposure sensor.
As a technician I fixed this type of error by replacing exposure sensor in several similar cases. So replace exposure sensor it will solve your problem.If you have any difficulties to resolve this issue let me know.

Burners won't light automatically. Will light with a match. Flint doesn't spark anymore. Can flints be replaced and by whom?
If none of the igniters are working then it is probably the igniter module which is relatively easy to replace on most makes and models.

Copier says it has no paper but there is paper in the tray
Most likely there is a dirty or bad sensor, or something is blocking the sensors from working correctly.

Canon PC981 Copier Print issue
When using generic toners, the automatic setting doesn't adjust to factory specs. So you have to adjust it manually. If you are using OEM toners the there is an issue with the density settings, and the unit needs to be adjusted by a tech.
