Paper drawer is stuck open?

the drawer wouldn't open due to paper being stuck between the drawer and machine. ---www.doinggroup.com Email:[email protected]

To the rear cover located one hole before waste toner box.Introduction one long screwdriver and push the unlock button.

This code is for LCT (Large Capacity Tray) lock release failure. This means there is a problem with the LCT, usually the large paper drawer at the bottom. This code is usually reset by opening then closing the front door. Sometimes turning off then on the main power switch on the right side will clear it. Try releasing the LCT and get it open. Then check the paper in the tray. Most of the time when there are problems with these LCT's it is because too much paper has been loaded or it has been loaded improperly. If you get it open, remove all paper. Then load smaller amounts of paper at a time to insure that it is loaded perfectly. Only load the tray half full at first and then close the drawer and allow it to lift. Then make a copy from that drawer to be sure it feeds paper. Then release the drawer again and finish loading if you want. If you continue to have the code then you can leave the drawer open an inch or so to de-activate it so you can still use the printer from the other drawers until you can get a technician out ot service it.
Good Luck and Thank You for using Fixya.

Hi,

To resolve paper jam issue, follow the steps
1. Open the rear access door.
2. Remove any bits of paper stuck.
3. Clean the rollers using lint free cloth ( upward position )
4. Close the rear access door
5. Open the front panel door
6. Check for any paper stuck between the rollers.
After doing all these steps, to make sure if your printer is working fine, try to make a copy.

The rollers are either dirty , or most likely worn out and need to be replaced. They are not hard to replace, but humidity is not the problem, the condtion of the rollers is the problem. Try cleaning them with something like fantastic or formula 109, then clean again with alcohol.
They become slick and will not feed paper. You can google a business called The Parts Drop, they carry about everything for Xerox copiers.

The paper lift housing is cracked. The clicking noise is made by the lift gears skipping teeth.
It needs to be serviced...in the mean time, you might try feeding 11 x 17 paper through the manual feeder (bypass tray). Or if you need many 11 x 17 copies, it is possible to set another paper drawer to 11 x 17 size...just set the plastic tag in the front of cassette to LD so the machine knows what size of paper to expect (if tag is set incorrectly, machine will jam EVERY TIME)

Just guessing.... Not knowing the model or Make of the copier. You Probably have to change the papersize on the drawer that you are putting the larger paper into to equal 8.5x14: usually by a dial or the position of the fences (side and rear paper guides inside of the tray)....

Please pull out the tray.
Check if the rear end fence is out of place.
If so, please remove the metal plate with the spring, remove the gear in the middle of the tray (below the metal plate) and reposition correctly in its place the rear and front end fences.
Then try closing the tray.
Good luck and please rate me, thanks.

After numerous attempts, the drawer finally slid in and worked --- until today.

New problem - drawer wouldn't come out and indicator showed the paper was out when machine had paper.

Removed screws from bottom of copier - couldn't completely remove the metal plate, but was able to pull it out enough to allow the paper drawer to be removed. Only thing that could be seen as potential problem was a spring hanging down the back that did not seem to be attached to anything. (heavy duty, about 7" long and 1/2 inch diament)

Removed screw, replaced screws in bottom plate - drawer slid in fine - turned on and ran copies just fine. Don't know what the spring was for - but copier is working for the moment.

One of your feed tires or rollers may have come off or be worn out. You may also have paper stuck behind one of the drawers, does it do this out of all the drawers?
