Question about Sharp UX P100 Plain Paper Thermal transfer Fax

"document jammed" but no paper in the machine

Hi! On the message bar there is " DOCUMENT JAMMED" blinking, but there is no paper loaded in the machine. When a call comes in (I have the same phone number for home phone and fax machine)it rings but there is no sound on the handset. And there is no dial tone either. I've opened the machine and didn't see any paper jammed anywhere. I seemed to recall, not really sure that, at one occasion, while sending a fax, the paper stuck, and I pulled the paper out from the bottom. Could this be the reason or could this move damaged the machine? And is there any solution? Thanks for any advice or help!

    Hi,

    I've opened the machine and there is definitely no paper, or piece of paper jammed. Also I can't see any sensors that might be damaged or dislodged.

    Any help would be gratefully received.

    Thanks

There are a few sensors in the paper path which can easilt dislodged when pulling paper to rapidly from unit. Check all sensor flags and make sure they are moving freely.

PIXMA MX330 Error message "Document in
Hello,
The sensor may be dirty even if it looks like there is no paper jam. Take a bottle of compressed air and give it a once over. Make sure you don't shake or tip the compressed air as you don't want to fast freeze anything.
If this does nothing, you probably have a failed sensor which will need replacing.

Machine reads document jam,checked machine seems ok,cannot sent fax.
Hi there!
The error message that you are getting means there's a jammed paper inside the machine particularly in the feeder. This may also appear if the panel is not closed securely. Try to open the control panel and look for any pieces of jammed paper or debris. Closed the front cover or the control panel, it should display the regular screen date/time. Once you have the regular screen load the document on the feeder, the display should change and should ask you to enter the fax number.
Hope this helps!
Please rate if it worked, Thanks

If paper is jammed, a Paper jam message will appear on the control panel display.

Follow these steps to clear the jam:

  1. Gently pull any jammed paper out of the output tray or sheet feeder.

  2. If the paper is stuck inside, turn off the Epson Stylus CX.

  3. Open the scanner, remove the jammed paper and torn pieces, close the scanner, and turn the Epson Stylus CX back on.

    alert_note.gif Note: Be sure to check the far left of the carriage area when checking for jammed paper. Paper that is jammed there may be hidden from view.
If paper jams inside the Automatic Document Feeder, clear the jam as follows:

  1. Open the Automatic Document Feeder cover and remove any jammed paper.

  2. If necessary, lift the document cover and remove any paper that has jammed inside.

Saying paper jammed ..but no paper is jammed????
The course of the problem could well be when you pulled the paper the wrong way out ot clear the jam. Open the machine and have a close look at the unerside of the flap. There should be a micro switch, which could well be desloged.

Sharp uxb700 document jammed appears in the message window blinking-cant clear it. no sign of any paper jammed already tried unplugging and clearing memory
If you lift up the panel and look underneath there are two black plastic "levers" one to the right and one to the bottom of the black roller. The larger one on the right was stuck. When I pushed on it and it popped up the "document jammed" message disappeared.
