The paper feed jammed allowing some print/now says empty but not
The paper tray image of empty paper is highlighted but the appropriate amount of paper is in there. Previously it would get jammed very easily in the same area, right in the front when you open the tray on the bottom the paper was still half in the tray and half in the front of the printer. The paper is still in the same place but the yellow "troubleshooting" image highligted is different it changed from jammed to empty paper tray. Any suggestions I am a financial planner and tax season is coming up. HELP!
Re: The paper feed jammed allowing some print/now says...
Look at the paper path very carefully. There might be a piece of paper that got torn off and is either jammed up in the fuser or the registration assembly.

If
your printer has a paper tray do not fill the tray to capacity. If
you're encountering frequent paper jams, reduce the amount of paper you
place in the tray each time it is filled.
Make
sure you or the tray feeding the paper into the printer is aligned
properly and the slider used to hold the paper in place in the tray is
snug with the paper. Many printers have sliders that allow different
types and sizes of paper to be fed into the printer. If the slider is
not properly positioned it can cause paper jams.
Use
standard office paper; folded paper, paper with labels, and specialty
paper such as hard bound paper can often cause paper jams. If you're
uncertain with what paper you should use with your printer your printer
documentation will list the paper compatible with your printer.
Do
not mix the paper you're feeding into the printer at one time. If you
need to change the paper or size of paper being used removed any other
paper currently in the printer before inserting the new paper.
If your printer uses a slot or tray for the paper make sure to not push the paper too far into the slot or tray.
Examine
the printer for any previous stuck paper in the printer. Previous paper
jams, torn paper, printing labels or other foreign objects in the
printer can cause reoccurring printer jams.
**If you need any kind of technical assistance you can contact support cell at here
Check
the display for an error message. If the display reads "Clearing paper
from printer," the engine has detected a jam and is attempting to eject
the jammed pages automatically. These pages will often be blank.
Check
the display for "Performing PRINT/STOP TEST" or "Performing SERVICE
TEST." Either of these messages indicates that the printer is going
through a test procedure that may eject blank pages.
Reduce
the amount of paper in the input tray if the printer is feeding
multiple blank sheets at a time. The printer will pull extra pages
through if the input tray is overfilled.
Replace
the paper in the input tray with the correct size if needed. If the
4600 printer detects the paper as an incorrect size for the print job, it may eject the paper without printing anything on it.
Replace
the ink cartridges if certain colors are blank on the page. Replace the
black cartridge if printing a black text document that is coming out
blank. The printer may attempt to print even if the ink level is low or
empty, but will unable to print anything on the page, causing it to
come out blank.
Remove
the sealing tape from newly installed cartridges. The tape covers the
print heads and should be removed before installing the cartridges. If
the tape is left on, it will prevent ink from getting on the pages as
they print.
Press
the "Check mark" button on the control panel to enter the printer menu.
Run a diagnostic so the printer can attempt to determine the cause of
the blank pages printing. Press the up or down arrow to select
"Diagnostics." Press the "Check mark" button. Press the "Down" arrow to
highlight "PQ Troubleshooting." Press the "Check mark" button. The
printer runs a diagnostic and returns to a ready state when done.
Hi Good day!!! Here are some steps to remove paper jam
1. Switch off the printer and disconnect the power supply. Allow any residual charge to fade away before putting your hands on the metal tools inside the chassis.
2. Pin down the exact location of the jam. The three hot spots for a jam are before a sheet completely leaves the paper tray, between the feed tray and the print carriage or between the print carriage and the output tray.
3. Take off the front paper tray. If the sheet jammed around here, you should be able to see most of the paper.
4. Pull on the sheet with both hands and steady pressure. Don't tug too quickly. You might rip the paper, leaving a chunk of it deeper in the machine.
5. Open the back panel to reach paper jammed between the feed tray area and the print carriage of the all-in-one printer. Carefully remove the jammed paper from the machine.
6. Use the carriage access door to get at a jam further inside. You may need to move the print carriage out of your way to get at the jam.
7. Return any access panels to their closed and locked positions. Plug your printer back in and flip the power switch.

Fixing a printer paper jam When working with any printer it's inevitable that you'll encounter a paper jam. Below are the steps you'll want to follow when this occurs.
Turn off the printer.
Inspect the location or tray the printed paper ejects to. If the stuck paper is visible manually remove it.*
Remove
all paper trays and any paper that may be stuck between the tray and
the printer. If the stuck paper is visible manually remove it.*
Open
the printer door that allows you access to the printer ink cartridges
or toner and look for any stuck paper. If the stuck paper is visible
manually remove it.*
Turn the printer back on. If you continue
to receive a printer jam error try repeating the above steps again. If
issue still persist and you see no paper that is stuck in the printer
it's likely your printer is experiencing another hardware issues and we
suggest contacting the printer manufacturer for additional assistance and/or repair.
*
To manually remove paper pull on the paper with both hands being
careful not to tear the paper while pulling it. If you're unable to get
to an edge of the paper that allows you to pull it you may need to
manually rotate the gears that feed the paper through the printer.
Preventing a printer paper jam As
mentioned earlier it is inevitable that you will encounter at least one
paper jam during the life of your printer. However, if you're

I suggest you get a sheet of Card Stock (Heavy
paper) and place it in the feed way. Then press the print
button applying a slight amount of pressure on the Card Stock so it
will feed through the printer. The reason for this is in some cases I
have been able to clear the paper track of debris that was deposited there
over time.
Worth a try, as I have fixed a number of printers this
way, saving costly repairs.
Hope this helps.Bud
. Switch off the
printer and disconnect the power supply. Allow any residual charge
inside the all-in-one printer to dissipate before putting your hands or
any metal tools inside the chassis.
2. Pin down the exact
location of the jam. The 3 hot spots for a jam are before a sheet
completely leaves the paper tray, anywhere between the feed tray and
print carriage or between the print carriage and output tray.
3. Take off the front
paper tray if the sheet jammed while still in the front area of the
printer. If here, you should be able to see most of the paper.
4. Pull the sheet with
both hands and steady pressure. Do not tug as you might rip the paper,
leaving a piece deeper inside the machine.
5. Open the back panel to reach paper jammed between the feed-tray area and print carriage. Carefully remove the jammed paper.
6. Use the carriage
access door to get at a jam further inside the printer. You may need to
remove the print carriage to get to the jam.
7. Replace all parts and
return any access panels to their closed and locked positions. Plug
your printer back in and flip the power switch.
